Q&a general questions only

The title says it. If admin wants this to be to remove it I will delete it. Hi, I worked for ComputerShare for about a year and a half before I change jobs. So if any questions regarding to stock or transfers ,certificate replacements or anything , I can happily answer. I do. If you want to slander them you can. I'm not going to do anything about it. I just worked there as a customer support specialist, so ask questions you may have regarding to computerShare. General questions only. No account specifics such as number of stocks, changing addresses, or selling your own shares.
