WhyDRS is a free educational resource about the financial markets in the United States – specifically direct registration, a method of personal ownership available to everyone but rarely used. Keeping long investments in your own name - with the SEC approved Direct Registration System - provides multiple benefits and safeties not available through other means.
If you'd like to help with the organization in any aspect, please check out the Project Board below for open issues across all repositories. If you'd like to assign yourself an issue, please @ one of the admins to let them know to update the issue.
We also host a podcast, Taking Stock, which is usually held on the WhyDRS X account as a live space. Taking Stock covers equal parts guest interviews, project updates, direct registration and custody advocacy, and current events in the financial markets. If you have an idea for a guest, let us know!
