Apparently there's some discussion again regarding the book vs. plan debate, so I'd like to reiterate what we figured out last year when this came up..
A lot of the confusion (I think) is due to the Computershare team not understanding the question and then making a statement that they are functionally the same. Yes, I guess to most casual investors they are.
But GME investors are concerned with their shares' complete withdrawal from the DTCC and not using fractional shares for locates. This is the part getting lost when asking cs for guidance, and the part causing the most confusion.
That's why the general consensus here in the Jungle has always been that "book" is best! If you go back and reread the original Computershare DDs, this is debated in real time, and I have changed position on this myself early on when new information came to light. Also remember the un-enrolling from the DRIP will automatically sell any fractional shares you have (I paperhanded for science and found out the hard way!) But there is plenty of info, both old and new, that discusses this issue in detail. There are resources across reddit and YouTube, many linked in the pinned comment across this sub.
I'd also like to say that I will be looking into the Computershare DD pin issue because those should always be pinned all the time!! (Edit: I think it's fixed!)
The Jungle always has and always will support full share ownership and withdrawal with "book" registered shares!!
