We all know they do not want people switching any DRS from Plan to Book, but this idea got too big and they couldn't ignore it anymore. They also knew their shills were outed too easily if they kept saying there is no difference between plan and book. A simple "why the hell do they have both if they are exactly the same thing" response made them look like absolute morons. So they had bail on telling people to keep everything under plan.

But this is confusing me. Why are they so worried about you selling that fraction of a share if you switch from plan to book? And why are they so worried that your automatic buys are not turned on if your using it? Even when they were pushing "plan & book are same" a major aspect oxlf their argument was that "omg you might accidentally sell your 1/16 of a share when you switch! Think about all the fractions selling!!!". It's stupid as hell.

So for some reason they really really really don't want you selling that fraction of a share. Is it b/c it keeps your plan plan open? How does this tie into keep automatic buys going? How are hedge funds using this to their advantage? Something weird going on with that.
