2/23/2024 Estimated DRS count: 76,100,046 ((using today's DRSbot total + fix inadvertent DRSbot offline or resets) x 4.129)

The 4.129 multiplier comes from 11/30/2023 Form 10-Q divided by DRSbot 11/30/2023 total: 75,400,000 / 18,262,331 = 4.129

Bloomberg data (to 12/9/2023), 12/31/2023 Blackrock addition, 12/29/2023 Vanguard addition, DRS estimated count, stuck in IRA estimates, and other:

  • Total Outstanding on 11/30/2023: 305,514,315
  • Thank you to lawsondt for the Bloomberg data to 12/9/2023
  • Vanguard increased shares by 785,823 on 12/29/2023 (2/13/2024 file date). From 24,664,433 to 25,450,256.
  • Blackrock increased shares by 567,123 on 12/31/2023 (1/26/2024 file date). From 21,977,404 to 22,544,527.
  • "Non-DRS - 200k acct if 30% stuck in IRA" is a conservative percentage. The Google share count surveys have suggested the 200k Computershare accounts have 40-50% additional shares stuck in IRAs.
  • "Fix inadvertent DRSbot offline or resets" is primarily whale #1's 1,390,972 DRS shares (as of 1/4/2024). Long story of switching subs and losing her DRS share count. So added the "fix inadvertent" column to capture her DRS shares.
  • Starting 1/4/2024, whale #1 started gift transferring DRS shares to others. 1,390,995 (on 12/25/2023) to now 1,390,972 (on 1/4/2024). Unfortunately, Computershare only allows one gift per month, and only up to $2000.

Discussion points:

  • It seems odd on some of the DRS count fluctuations since the beginning.
  • There have been 2 "somewhat hidden" 2022 rugpulls (May 2022 and Aug/Sep/Oct 2022), the June 2023 Mainstar rugpull, and now the Sep/Oct/Nov 2023 rugpull.
  • It seems odd on recent DRS count stagnating (excluding the Mainstar rugpull of 1.27 million shares). From a very simplistic view assuming 200,000 Computershare accounts:
Buy X number of shares a month Multiply by 3 months per quarter Total DRS per quarter if 100,000 active accounts Total DRS per quarter if 200,000 active accounts
1 3 300,000 600,000
2 6 600,000 1,200,000
3 9 900,000 1,800,000
4 12 1,200,000 2,400,000
5 15 1,500,000 3,000,000
  • The April 2023 list of stockholders DRS numbers seem correct and line up with SEC filings.
  • Possible some investors have had to un-DRS.
  • Possible economic slowdown and inflation have reduced investor purchasing power.
  • Possible whale investors who helped inflate DRS numbers alot, have dramatically slowed down their purchasing.
  • Tinfoil - certain parties inflate DRS shares 9 to 18 months back, then drain their DRS shares later. Probably spread across say 3,000 accounts to make it seem like normal activity.
  • Tinfoil - operational efficiency draining from DRS non-Book shares on certain dates.
  • Tinfoil - possible something funny with SEC filing reported number.
  • There is the recent post from sister sub, google search on: Deep analysis on Computershare recurring buys reddit

He examines the bi-weekly recurring Computershare buys. The bi-weekly recurring buys were around $900k to $1.5 million.

An alternative DRS count estimation may be estimating money spent by retail purchasing GME per quarter. It was around $1.2 million average per 6 recurring Computershare buys per quarter. Then say a massively conservative $200k per other trading day. So:

If average $1.2 million spent per bi-weekly purchase, and say $14 a share, multiply by 6 for one GME quarter:

  • 1,200,000 / 14 = 85,714 shares * 6 = 514,284 shares
  • The 6 recurring buys alone should add 514,284 DRS shares.

Other 54 trading days:

  • $200,000 / $14 a share = 14,285 shares a day
  • 54 * 14,285 = 771,390 shares

Total:

514,284 + 771,390 = +1,285,674 DRS shares a quarter

  • There is the recent post from sister sub, google search on: Deep analysis on Computershare recurring buys reddit

He examines the bi-weekly recurring Computershare buys. The bi-weekly recurring buys were around $900k to $1.5 million.

An alternative DRS count estimation may be estimating money spent by retail purchasing GME per quarter. It was around $1.2 million average per 6 recurring Computershare buys per quarter. Then say a massively conservative $200k per other trading day. So:

If average $1.2 million spent per bi-weekly purchase, and say $14 a share, multiply by 6 for one GME quarter:

  • 1,200,000 / 14 = 85,714 shares * 6 = 514,284 shares
  • The 6 recurring buys alone should add 514,284 DRS shares.

Other 54 trading days:

  • $200,000 / $14 a share = 14,285 shares a day
  • 54 * 14,285 = 771,390 shares

Total:

514,284 + 771,390 = +1,285,674 DRS shares a quarter

1/26/2024 Estimated DRS count: 75,903,035 ((using today's DRSbot total + fix inadvertent DRSbot offline or resets) x 4.129)

The 4.129 multiplier comes from 11/30/2023 Form 10-Q divided by DRSbot 11/30/2023 total: 75,400,000 / 18,262,331 = 4.129

  • "Non-DRS - 200k acct if 30% stuck in IRA" is a conservative percentage. The Google share count surveys have suggested the 200k Computershare accounts have 40-50% additional shares stuck in IRAs.
  • "Fix inadvertent DRSbot offline or resets" is primarily whale #1's 1,390,972 DRS shares (as of 1/4/2024). Long story of switching subs and losing her DRS share count. So added the "fix inadvertent" column to capture her DRS shares.
  • Starting 1/4/2024, whale #1 started gift transferring DRS shares to others. 1,390,995 (on 12/25/2023) to now 1,390,972 (on 1/4/2024). Will continue using 1,390,995 in fix inadvertent unless those recipients feed DRSbot.

  • "Fix inadvertent DRSbot offline or resets" is primarily whale #1's 1,390,972 DRS shares (as of 1/4/2024). Long story of switching subs and losing her DRS share count. So added the "fix inadvertent" column to capture her DRS shares.
  • Starting 1/4/2024, whale #1 started gift transferring DRS shares to others. 1,390,995 (on 12/25/2023) to now 1,390,972 (on 1/4/2024). Will continue using 1,390,995 in fix inadvertent unless those recipients feed DRSbot.

Discussion points:

  • It seems odd on some of the DRS count fluctuations since the beginning.
  • There have been 2 "somewhat hidden" 2022 rugpulls (May 2022 and Aug/Sep/Oct 2022), the June 2023 Mainstar rugpull, and now the Sep/Oct/Nov 2023 rugpull.
  • It seems odd on recent DRS count stagnating (excluding the Mainstar rugpull of 1.27 million shares). From a very simplistic view assuming 200,000 Computershare accounts:
Buy X number of shares a month Multiply by 3 months per quarter Total DRS per quarter if 100,000 active accounts Total DRS per quarter if 200,000 active accounts

  • The April 2023 list of stockholders DRS numbers seem correct and line up with SEC filings.
  • Possible some investors have had to un-DRS.

  • There is the recent post from sister sub, google search on: Deep analysis on Computershare recurring buys reddit

He examines the bi-weekly recurring Computershare buys. The bi-weekly recurring buys were around $900k to $1.5 million.

An alternative DRS count estimation may be estimating money spent by retail purchasing GME per quarter. It was around $1.2 million average per 6 recurring Computershare buys per quarter. Then say a massively conservative $200k per other trading day. So:

If average $1.2 million spent per bi-weekly purchase, and say $14 a share, multiply by 6 for one GME quarter:

  • 1,200,000 / 14 = 85,714 shares * 6 = 514,284 shares
  • The 6 recurring buys alone should add 514,284 DRS shares.

Other 54 trading days:

  • $200,000 / $14 a share = 14,285 shares a day
  • 54 * 14,285 = 771,390 shares

Total:

514,284 + 771,390 = +1,285,674 DRS shares a quarter

[-] lovetoburst@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 5 points 11 months ago

DRSbot witnessing is pretty much down to one reddit user now (shorthand we refer to as NoVac user).

DRSbot has been offline more than online the past 3 weeks. I manually track DRS posts during its offline time. From keeping an eye on DRS posts the past 3-4 months, nothing alarming jumps out.

Was discussing the DRS count f--kery tonight, and there isn't much reason to measure and estimate when "they" can consistently mess with the DRS numbers over the past 2 years.

I think a better gauge may be estimating money spent by retail purchasing GME per quarter. It was around $1.2 million average per 6 recurring Computershare buys per quarter. Then say a massively conservative $200k per other trading day. So:

If average $1.2 million spent per bi-weekly purchase, and say $14 a share, multiply by 6 for one GME quarter:

  • 1,200,000 / 14 = 85,714 shares * 6 = 514,284 shares
  • The 6 recurring buys alone should add 514,284 DRS shares.

Other 54 trading days:

  • $200,000 / $14 a share = 14,285 shares a day
  • 54 * 14,285 = 771,390 shares

Total:

514,284 + 771,390 = +1,285,674 DRS shares a quarter.

There, done. I don't have to look at another DRS post again, ever. :)

Further ruminating, using very conservative numbers.

Not even using 200,000 Computershare accounts. Say just 100,000 accounts.

Is it a stretch to say 100,000 accounts DRS 5 shares a month? 100,000 x 5 shares a month x 3 months = 1,500,000 a quarter

5 shares a month * $22 avg = $110 a month * 3 months = $330 a quarter

Or only 1 to 3 shares a month for 200,000 accounts:

  • 1 share a month = 600,000 a quarter
  • 2 shares a month = 1,200,000 a quarter
  • 3 shares a month = 1,800,000 a quarter

There probably still is "something funny" going on. There is still the unexplained weird jumps up/down in DRS numbers since we first started:

I think we're still chipping away the last 2 quarters and this coming quarter. Without some whales adding a large chunk this quarter, it looks like averaging around 6,150 DRS a day.

And we had the Mainstar rug pull. Odd timing on that.

And many ETFs containing GME still getting smashed into the dirt with piles of FTDs.

A few redditors have noticed where users do a drsbot reset, their share count goes to 0, then they try to re-add their shares. But then no drsbot witnesses approve their shares. Or the person doesn't want to go through the approval process again. So we see share count go down like 34,000 or a few thousand shares, but then never get added back.

I manually fixed the #1 whale's 1.3 million share count. Then this past week started adding back the 34,000+ shares of another whale. I'm too lazy to go through every DRS post looking for discrepancies where smaller amounts of shares don't get added back. :\

When normal, retail investors have to educate the head of the SEC about DRS... I dunno, Gary feigning ignorance about DRS months back in that one interview...
