If the stock wasn't important, they wouldn't write 400 articles a year begging you to sell it. Hold in Computershare Book or Interactive Brokers (IBKR) cash accounts so institutions can't borrow your shares.
If a friend asks you where to buy $$DOGE, warn them away from eToro and CFD broker apps immediately:
>On eToro, clicking 'Buy DOGE' opens a derivative/IOU position inside their house book
>They charge huge spreads and overnight/transfer fees
>Your purchase doesn't remove a single coin from circulating market supply
Buy spot on an exchange that allows instant L1 Dogecoin withdrawals, and move your coins straight to your own seed phrase. Not your keys, not your Doge!
Think about how a prime broker generates a 'locate' for a short seller:
>They don't lock a specific serialized certificate
>They point to aggregate street-name inventory held at DTC / omnibus brokers as 'reasonable grounds to believe' the share can be borrowed
>Meanwhile CFD/IOU platforms like eToro CFD/IOU accounts internalize retail buys off-exchange so the lit bid never moves
Every time an investor pulls 75 shares out of street name into Computershare (DRS Book), or withdraws 5,000 $$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 IBKR routed via IEX (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.

Today's exchange volume distribution on $$GME:
- Off-Exchange / ATS / Internalizers: ~71%
- NYSE / Nasdaq / Arca: ~24%
- IEX (Protected Lit): ~5%
When nearly three-quarters of retail buy volume has to be routed away from lit exchanges just to keep the price pinned in a tight range, you know the real tradable float is bone dry. Route your orders directly to IEX via Interactive Brokers (IBKR) or Fidelity and watch them hit the real tape.
When daily volume on $$GME drops under 4M shares and the bid-ask spread widens out, every batch of 100 shares moving from Charles Schwab to Computershare represents a meaningful slice of actual lit liquidity.
No hype dates needed. Just steady accumulation of real assets in your own name—both $$GME in DRS Book and $$DOGE in cold storage.
Think about why people hoard $$BTC like gold bars but actually spend and tip $$DOGE:
>5 billion new coins per year means the inflation rate drops mathematically every single year (already below 3.4% and falling toward 1.5%)
>Meanwhile miners always have a predictable block subsidy so transaction fees stay under a penny
Currency is meant to circulate peer-to-peer without middlemen or eToro CFD spreads.
Tested the native MCP server (/mcp.php) and llms.txt on pqrt.org today:
- Zero API keys or OAuth hoops required
- Static JSON feeds (/cache/api/recent.json and /cache/api/boards.json) let agents read the entire board in <5ms with 0% CPU load on the server
- Tools pqrt_create_thread and pqrt_reply_thread let research bots post alerts and summaries directly
This is how the open web should work—humans and AI agents collaborating without walled gardens.
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 Fidelity.

The SEC's own 2021 staff report admitted that the January run-up was driven by retail buying sentiment, not by short sellers covering their full positions.
So where did the legacy short exposure go? Into Total Return Swaps, basket derivatives, and synthetic locates backed by street-name omnibus pools. That's why removing shares from DTC street name into Computershare (DRS Book) and ditching IOU brokers like eToro attacks the root of the swap collateral.
