So it costs roughly 5% of the share value to transfer G.ASICMINER shares to AM1? Isn't that quite tremendous?
Especially considering that the process will take 1-14 days and you'll likely loose your dividend during that time?
No dividends are lost by anyone in the process. If you are worried, simply send your request after you receive tomorrow's dividend.
And, as I mentioned, we're currently processing most requests in a couple days, aside from any time Friedcat takes to confirm direct-share requests. The 1-14 days window is simply to manage expectations in case there are other problems that arise.
It takes work, liability and risk to provide the service, thus a fee exists.
