Part of me liked the heat lamp theory, part of me didn’t. I prefer simpler. At a certain point, if 80% are in book and 20% are in plan, but cuz of loopholes 80% are reported as owned by the dtcc….that’s gonna get blown up/ won’t hold up. Part of it felt like a cointel situation, by putting in large grains of truth and then twisting it into this ultimate spin unnecessarily to actually hurt the book is better convo. Thoughts?

The most important part of what people call the Heat Lamp Theory is that DSPP shares are “shares enrolled in the plan” whereas what everyone assumed: that DSPP shares ONLY included plan shares. The difference between being “plan” and “in the plan” is significant because the former was 3 million shares (on the stockholder list) and the latter is 22 million+ shares (on the stockholder list). That is what I call the “DSPP revelations” but most people call the heat lamp theory. It’s important enough that I broke it into 2 chapters in the DD book. https://online.fliphtml5.com/lvrgy/kqab/#p=1

Well, I'm not totally smart on the financial mess of wall st., but when I read the post, it seemed to make good sense to me. After seeing the test that he did to prove his point & reading the rest of the post, I immediately decided to go with it & terminate plan in Computershare. I do not want any wall st entities using loopholes to gain access to any of my shares.

The post may be long, but I don't think it was trying to cause any confusion. It seems to agree with the idea that full book is better, & the only way to go. I really liked the Heat Lamp Theory post. It seems like wall st & their minions really want it shut down hard. After seeing how much hostility it has gotten on Reddit by mods & others, I am convinced that it holds much truth to it.

I think it's a very important post that everyone should see & form their own opinion on. As for myself, I fully agree with it. I hate wall st, & this makes me hate them even more.

I agree. At the end of the day, remember that all of us have the ability of critical thinking. No DD has ever been absolutely perfect. The heat lamp DD made a design flaw (feature) of the DRS obvious to everyone. It helped understand that plan shares can be used by the DTCC, as is now confirmed even by the SEC.

I think this DD is an important milestone for investors who are already very knowledgable, as they might already be DRSd but missed an important little detail in their seemingly direct registered shares. They will want their shares far away from the reach of the DTCC after this DD. It gets the point across. But sure, it can be made simpler. Do it. The thing is, phrasing something in fewer words is an incredible amount of work.

A % of plan shares are held via ComputerShare’s broker at the dtcc, for operational efficiency. This has been the bottom line argument for booking shares, for over 2 years now.

but it always just gets buried, deeper than Hoffa. Above, is proven fact.

The rest dilutes above, a bit. I believe the heat lamp theory, but the above simple tidbit is the bottom, provable line.

Like I said, eventually if there’s actually the majority of drs’d shares in book, but dtcc is reporting the majority of drs’d shares as on their books because of the “in the plan” loophole…..it’s not going to hold up.

To be clearer on what I didn’t like: there was quite a focus on terminating plan/selling fractionals being this huge quick dagger that would expose super fraud. I think no dingleberries, and not being a part of any parts of the plan are the way to go. But I don’t necessarily think if everyone woke up tomorrow and did so, that there would be fireworks in our favor.

I don’t think anything is going to happen quickly, because of idiosyncratic risk. Too many people, need a controlled blow up or too many good things implode (all the innocent shit that is going to feel the pain via collateral damage)
