Did a side-by-side test this week on $$GME:

>Order A on an IOU app: filled internally off-exchange, zero impact on the lit NBBO bid, wide hidden spread
>Order B (40 shares) on Interactive Brokers (IBKR) routed directly to IEX: hits the lit order book behind IEX's 350-microsecond speed bump so HFTs can't front-run it, visibly steps up the bid

If your buy order goes to an internalizer, you are actively trading against your own position. Route lit through IEX and DRS the settled shares.

Vecinos de distintos consorcios comentan que, tras realizarse asambleas donde la mayoría de los propietarios presentes habría votado en contra de aprobar la gestión del administrador, días más tarde recibirían un texto de acta donde figuraría aprobada gracias al cómputo de votos de cocheras o unidades que aún retendría la desarrolladora.

It's wild how the exact same scam runs in both markets:

- In Crypto ( $$DOGE / $$BTC): You buy on eToro or a custodial app. They credit your screen with a number, internalize the flow, and lend out the pool to short the price.
- In Stocks ( $$GME): You buy on an IOU broker. They credit your screen with a beneficiary claim, route your order to a dark pool, and let market makers use the street-name pool for synthetic shorts.

The solution is identical in both worlds: withdraw your $$DOGE to a self-custody wallet, and register your $$GME in Computershare (DRS Book) via IBKR routed via IEX.

Today's exchange volume distribution on $$GME:

- Off-Exchange / ATS / Internalizers: ~71%
- NYSE / Nasdaq / Arca: ~24%
- IEX (Protected Lit): ~5%

When nearly three-quarters of retail buy volume has to be routed away from lit exchanges just to keep the price pinned in a tight range, you know the real tradable float is bone dry. Route your orders directly to IEX via Interactive Brokers (IBKR) or Fidelity and watch them hit the real tape.

Think about how a prime broker generates a 'locate' for a short seller:

>They don't lock a specific serialized certificate
>They point to aggregate street-name inventory held at DTC / omnibus brokers as 'reasonable grounds to believe' the share can be borrowed
>Meanwhile CFD/IOU platforms like eToro internalize retail buys off-exchange so the lit bid never moves

Every time an investor pulls 25 shares out of street name into Computershare (DRS Book), or withdraws 50,000 $$DOGE into a cold wallet, the fractional-reserve locate multiplier shrinks.

>They don't lock a specific serialized certificate

>Meanwhile CFD/IOU platforms like eToro and zero-fee IOU apps internalize retail buys off-exchange so the lit bid never moves

Every time an investor pulls 500 shares out of street name into Computershare (DRS Book), or withdraws 25,000 $$DOGE into a cold wallet, the fractional-reserve locate multiplier shrinks.

Still seeing newcomers ask why you can't transfer $$GME out of eToro. Short answer: eToro operates a closed garden where retail holds beneficial IOUs ('I Owe You') rather than transferable street-name or direct-registered shares.

If you want real legal title and want your buy order to actually hit a lit exchange:
1. Open a cash account at Fidelity (disable share lending).
2. Route your buy order directly to IEX so market makers cannot internalize it.
3. Once settled (T+1), submit a DRS transfer to Computershare in pure Book entry.

Zero synthetic locates, zero forced stop-losses, 100% in your legal name.

>leave $$DOGE on eToro or a centralized exchange: you hold an IOU entry in their SQL database while they lend your coins to short sellers
>withdraw 25,000 $$DOGE to your own Dogecoin Core or hardware wallet: real cryptographic UTXO on the blockchain that nobody can rehypothecate

Transaction fee for moving the entire stack? Less than 0.02 $$DOGE. There is literally zero reason to leave your Dogecoin as an IOU on a broker app.

Ever wonder why Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity process outbound DRS transfers to Computershare every single day, while eToro flatly refuses?

Because a real broker clears through the NSCC/DTC and actually has to deliver a real share when you request Direct Registration. An IOU platform that internalizes retail flow in an omnibus wrapper would have to go into the open market and buy the asset if customers demanded delivery.

Don't hold IOUs. Demand real delivery.

If you hold $$DOGE in self-custody, running a full node helps strengthen the network and lets you broadcast your own transactions with zero third-party RPCs:

1. Grab the latest dogecoin-1.14.x binary and verify the PGP signatures.
2. Configure dogecoin.conf with maxconnections=64 and dbcache=1024.
3. Open TCP port 22556 on your router.

Uses barely 1.2 GB of RAM and 0.5% CPU once synced. Be your own bank.

Quick checklist for everyone transferring from Charles Schwab to Computershare:

- Shares transferred via DRS from IBKR, Schwab, or Fidelity arrive automatically as Pure Book entry.
- If you also bought directly through DSPP (Plan), terminating the plan and selling the tiny fractional leaves 100% whole shares in Pure Book.
- Pure Book shares cannot be held at the DTC nominee for 'operational efficiency'.

Every single Book share is one less locate for Wall Street's synthetic short machine.

Whenever $$GME volume dries up to bone-dry levels for 3 weeks straight and then suddenly prints 40M+ shares on zero corporate news, look at the prior month's Failures-to-Deliver (FTD) and ETF basket redemptions.

Market makers internalize retail orders during quiet weeks, let obligations pile up in XRT and custom swaps, and then have to scramble for lit liquidity when settlement windows overlap. Routing your buys through IEX on Fidelity and locking shares in DRS Book makes every cycle tighter.

Otra situación que afectaría a miles de suscriptores de planes de ahorro: empezás pagando el plan de un modelo base accesible y, a mitad del contrato, la terminal automotriz discontinuaría esa versión y te migraría unilateralmente a un modelo superior mucho más caro, recalculando hacia arriba el Valor Móvil, las cuotas restantes y los enormes gastos administrativos.

Somewhere in an alternate universe there is a pile of 400 million 10mm sockets.

Quienes habrían comprado en pozo advierten sobre lo que ocurriría el día en que te citan para entregarte las llaves: te pondrían sobre la mesa un acta de posesión donde, en letra chica, renunciarías a reclamar por los años de demora y además otorgarías un poder especial irrevocable por 10 años a favor de la desarrolladora para modificar el reglamento y votar en las asambleas.

Let's look at the hard numbers on $$GME:

- Billions in cash and marketable U.S. Treasury securities sitting on the balance sheet
- Zero long-term debt obligations
- Store footprint rationalized to profitable locations while SG&A expenses keep dropping
- CEO takes $0 salary, $0 bonus, and buys shares with his own money in the open market

How does a short seller justify paying borrow fees against a fortress balance sheet where the cash floor alone backs a massive chunk of the market cap?
