They do Bro. Did you see your broker mentioned by name on the guys the SEC was thinking was doing some crooked stuff? I saw my broker "DLJdirect" had the highest income this last quarter than any broker ever had. The homeboys probably made $5,000 off me and my shares. I know NOW that if I get my certs, I limit their power. It will cost me an additional $15.00 per certificate, but I made a resolution "Not a New Years" that I won't leave ANYTHING in street name. If all of us independent investors did the same, we could stop some of this manipulation. I bet you a beer that within 3 years, the SEC will respond to this problem with MM control of penny stock and us little Guy's/Gal's will leave NOTHING in street name. Sapper phylocipyhising and drinking a beer. :). Wishing his spelling didn't suck. Sapper

Jetter, after what Dave said, let me say this. Any time I buy shares, 1 to 1 Bizillion, I have the option to let my broker hold them in my street name "Sapper" or mail them to me with Tommy G. Simmons as the owner. If I buy three different times during the week, on Friday I can request my certs and get 1 certificate which will show ownership of all the shares I bought that week. If I request to have them mailed, it takes two to three days to get them. If I sell, I have to have the certs to DLJdirect within three working days. Example: I use to buy NANX in the morning at $5.00 a share and sell in the evening at $5.50. No way to receive and mail the certs back within the three day window so I leave them in Street name and DLJ holds them for me. If I know I will hold a stock for a while, like my AES shares, I will ask for the certs. That way I don't give the Bast@rds a chance to use my shares to make them money. What David says makes good sense. I will probably E-mail DLJ and ask them to convert my shares. Will probably take a few days. I hope the stock drops a bit more tomorrow. If It does, I got $2,000 to buy a few more. THEN Monday I will ask for certs and it will still only cost me $15.00 for the cert's. This will help "in a small way" to keep the shorters honest. Have I confused everyone yet. Did drink a beer after I got home. :) Sapper
