The number of shareholders listed is not the actual number of people who own shares of a particular stock. Most of the shares held in street name are being held by brokerages, Cede & Co. list the brokerages as the shareholder. Thus the low number of shareholders listed. If you were to pull certs on your stock you would then be listed as the shareholder.

Street name is the term given to securities held in the name of a brokerage on behalf of a customer, usually done to facilitate subsequent transactions. Street name refers to beneficial shareholders who maintain their ownership through a brokerage. Street name holders are the opposite of registered holders.

Winning Brands could pull a NOBO list to determine beneficial owners.



P.S... I do not use boardmarks as a way of judging any particular stocks interest. 1. Because I personally at the moment have about 7 boards marked, but I read only 1, WNBD. 2. Because as per the last filing, we have only 300 stockholders...yet we have over 700 boardmarks...telling me the "boardmark" feature has absolutely nothing to do with how many people are watching this stock. With all the news, blogs, potential we have going here, theres no way 400+ people would be simply waiting on timing. Which leads to... 3. I believe the boardmarks at one point in time were pumped up by posters trying to artificially increase the number. Out of 700 plus people were really viewing us, why do less than 30 post on any single day.
