As the past President of a Biotech company in Ca. I can give you my insight to shareholders of record. Both individual retail investors (you and me) and institutions as well, are all shareholders of record of stocks they have purchased and still own. This is really important regarding dividends for example. You will notice dividend payouts for example, will have two dates; one for shareholders of record by a certain date they have owned the stock (lets say a dividend payout was today but you had to have owned the stock hypothetically, no later than July 10th.) So the two dates for 'shareholders of record' would be July 10th and August 23rd, for example. Investment houses such as ETRADE are NOT shareholders of records, you the retail investor are the shareholder of record.
I hope this helps.
