German Broker Comdirect finally allows to vote!! 🎉

Edit: ‼️call them right now, be nice and come straight to the point. It only took a minute or even less. Just did it myself, didn’t even know they take calls on weekends‼️

As you can read in the title, popular German Bank and Broker Comdirect now allows apes to vote, after several weeks of telling us that we can only vote, if we have bought the stock at the NYSE.

Majority of Comdirect apes have bought at Tradegate or Lang & Schwarz (Long and Black 😏🍆) which would mean that the stocks are held in german custodian ("Verwahrstelle").

Brokers aren’t obligated by law to serve us the proxy statement when US-Stocks are held in german custodian.

This has now changed and a few apes in our german twin subreddit r/SpielStopp have received their Proxy Statement after contacting the broker multiple times.

Now all you have to do is use the contact form and demand the proxy statement. You will be able to find it after a few hours/days (maybe after the weekend) in your Postbox.

I invite every German ape to join this subreddit as we are all sharing information and experience of talking to our brokers related to voting. It looks like putting pressure on the brokers seems to workout in our favor!

We have a lot Justus Aureliuses amongst us with deep pockets inherited from their parents. If i would guess then the average ape in Germany has mid-high xx shares. That’s probably a multiple hundreds of thousands of votes now finally unlocked!
