I didn't track mine super close--and btw, I own 500 shares, not 1 or 10 or whatever--but as far as I know, nothing's "hinky" in gainskeeper or stock movements, etc.

As far as "settling," there's lots of confusion "out there" cuz of the published "formulas" for determining ex-date based on record date, size of the "divvy," etc. Bottom line, though, is if you buy before ex-date (and hold until ex-date), you're entitled to whatever the consequences are, f/s, r/s, cash...

For example, if you buy before record date, but sell before ex-date? You not only sold your shares but also your eligibility rights...

No where in the Daily List blurb did it mention "shareholder of record", that caveat would have to be found in a DEF-14 filing.(I've seen no link to a DEF-14 anywhere)

There is no 3 days to clear prerequisite, you hold up until the x-date, and the benefits of the R/S belong to you.

I don't see anything unusual in the following reports, given the time passed since X-DATE:

"Roundup Share Status [Please post updates for your accounts!]:

Fidelity - Attempting to Cash Out (Posted: 5/29)
Scottrade - Disappeared from Account (No History)
Schwab - Still listed as DTIC with Numerical Placeholder
Ameritrade - Listed as DTIC (No Change from Purchase)
Zecco - Disappeared from Account (Sold @ $0.00)
"

BTW:
In my Zecco, bought them, they sold them......that's normal!
In my Scottrade account, RKBD is in gainskeeper....that's normal!
