If certificates continue to be held in street name and the TA does not know the names of individual shareholders, then that leaves the gates wide open for funny business, especially since some brokers are also MMs. Get it? "Names splattered all over creation??" That's not true, and could you be any more dramatic? lol
And, what the heck is the company implying when it recommends everyone contact their broker to insure the TA is properly notified of their names? Thats nuts. people use brokers so that they are on the OBO list and their names are not splattered all over creation. what does the company want everyones name for?
