Your very welcome J. She was friendly and informed me Hellix was no longer a client. She didn't explain why because I assume clients come and go all the time. Canadian companies trade on the TSX in Toronto which has a trading agreement with our US exchanges. Transfer agents do convert stock but can't do it if the company isn't a client anymore. Based on what I learned from self study I called my brokerage and asked if they could do it. The agent didn't know at the time but got back to me and said yes. I immediately requested a conversion to certificate form. Calling the former transfer agent would most likely produce the same result I got. You can still call out of curiosity to see what kind of response you might get. I supplied you with the contact info to give you some insight on how things work behind the scenes and a little introduction on transfer agents. The DTCC will be disbanded or revamped at some point in the future when the public finds out who they are and what they've been up to for past 25 years. -Lamont
Hey J. You might want to reconsider contacting the transfer agent concerning stock conversion to cert form. I heard Bill Holter say on an interview tonight that you can have your broker send your shares to the transfer agent then converted to cert form for very cheap. I don't know what the law is concerning a dormant company like Hellix and stock transfers and conversions. It seems we should have some type of recourse under the law but I don't have any idea how to find out. Best wishes -Lamont
