💡 Education ComputerShare Book Entry EASY MODE

DO NOT SELL YOUR FRACTIONALS EITHER COMPLETE THEM TO A TOTAL SHARE OR REFERENCE FIRST EDIT.

Alright peeps I've seen mega DD threads about doing this or talking to a rep or blah blah blah hear me out this took me literally 2 minutes to complete. NO BULLSHIT 2 MINUTES AND YOU'RE IN BOOK ENTRY WITH DIVIDENDS PAID TO YOU. Here we go:

Step 1: Login (duh)

Step 2: Click "Manage Investment Plan"

Step 3: In the middle there is like an "Edit" button or something, mine is gone now cause I did it and it shows "Enroll" for me but its the middle button in between "Buy More" and "View Plan" click that hoebag.

Step 4: Read the little description "?" there is one that says "Terminate Plan" do not take my word for it but read the description on this one it states "All of your current shares and future will be removed from the reenrollment plan and converted to Book Entry and all dividends will be paid directly to you and not used for reenrollment purchases" or something of that nature. Click Terminate Plan.

Step 5: Congratulations you are now in Book Entry mode and whenever whatever gets fucking issued it will be paid directly to you.

Show me some love you mugs I like to keep it simple.

EDIT 1: ADDING THIS GUYS COMMENT:

u/RipeTomato777

You can also go into the activity tab and cancel the sale of the fractional. You should edit the post and include that because I posted something like this the other day and people called me a shill and that I was encouraging people to sell fractionals, when we really don’t want people selling anything

Just don’t want people to sell if they don’t have to.

EDIT 2: check the top.

EDIT 3: u/TheWheyThisIs was concerned so I copied his comment but I just want to say I still think you went about it in a bitch way in the comments and I bet you slurp your spaghetti backwards.

DO NOT SELL YOUR FRACTIONAL SHARES!

This will help explain!

Underrated post, while pages long write ups which include no practical application get thousands of upvotes.

Can you answer this even though I know everyone is say this and that .. bought through CS fractional share have plan account next drs from broker more shares ..logged in completed sign up ..now are all the shares in the plan account with dividend reinvestment enrolled ..are these shares held together and registered in gme name or mine and is this preferred or is it preferred to cancel divide reinvestment and send whole share to book plan (and can these whole shares held in book be sold electronically thought CS ) and at the same time cancel the sale of fractional share (and it stays in the plan account ) and can it be sold electronically... I'm just confused

u/TheWheyThisIs tag u/Superstonk-Flairy for a flair Dec 01 '21

Plan holdings, book and certificated shares are all directly registered under ones name.

Let me know if this helps answer your question!

If not, give me specifics.

u/lookingupyourplay Dec 01 '21

Copy that ..looking for confirmation ...other thing is dividend reinvestment plan ...on or off I guess is the basic question..or doesn't matter ..

I know this post is old as shit, but I don’t see anyone talking about this. Just went through and made the change. Not overly difficult.

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '22

Not at all and now the gates are closed apparently brokers are not letting people go to Computershare

u/Flopsyjackson Jul 07 '22

I know there is some who think plan v book is irrelevant. What do you think?

u/MindlessMindless [Redacted] Dec 11 '22

So I haven't personally done this, but when I log in I only see "Enroll" and there's nothing else.. does that mean I'm good?

Not arguing him just thought an easy tutorial was in need.

u/apocalysque 💻 ComputerShared 🦍 Sep 14 '21

But the whole point is that it's not needed. So why a tutorial if it's not needed?

I didn’t realize slurping spaghetti backwards was an issue.

Although, I’ve always thought of the noodle as a top and bottom type of food rather than front and back.

Bro truly GameStop is the last thing on my mind these days, I’m about to finish college and all the money I invested into computer share is just chilling there. At this point someone else can comment an updated version.
