How do you artificially increase Boardmarks?

I believe the boardmarks at one point in time were pumped up by posters trying to artificially increase the number.

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.

You took exception to me saying WNBD is turning the corner, but you don't allow WNBD to issue PRs? Okaaay. I don't get it.

And the number of shareholders of record can be very distorted by the fact that TDA could be one shareholder but account for 100s of folks.

But I'm not sure where you are headed with this -- and wherever you are headed you aren't going to convince me that WNBD isn't turning the corner and that folks will buy more as evidence of WNBD's progress becomes more clear.

Good night. Maybe I'll understand what you are saying better tomorrow.

There used to be a lot more boardmarks before IHUB cleaned them up. Most of the boardmarks are real, whether or not people check in on the board is another thing.
