Consider whether ^[1] or perhaps the information there can be used in this article. I hesitate to cite a blog, but not much information is available on Cede and Company.

Also consider ^[2], a more reliable source.--DThomsen8 (talk) 01:29, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correct name is Cede & Co.[edit]

Whomever wrote this has no idea how corporate law works. The official name has always been Cede & Co. Also, "Cede" is shorthand for "Certificate Depository", according to DTC's own former CEO. The article should be moved to the correct title. --Coolcaesar (talk) 02:26, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why doesn’t someone mention the irony of the name Cede meaning: To surrender possession of, especially by treaty. synonym: relinquish. 2600:4040:B6C2:8C00:EC2D:D4A1:385C:CC8C (talk) 03:45, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because this website is an encyclopedia not an episode of Alex Jones or TYT. 47.186.99.250 (talk) 23:27, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cede and Company is unrelated to Alex Jones. It has a double meaning: (1) a shorthand for 'certificate depository' (as stated by User:Coolcaesar) and (2) a pun on the word 'cede' which means to 'give up' (because shareholders give up direct ownership to an intermediary). Donald (2007) writes, "Today, in fact, it is likely that a listed company will have only one registered shareholder, appropriately named 'Cede & Company', the nominee of the Depository Trust Company (DTC), which is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust and Clearing Company (DTCC), the entity whose group clears and settles almost all securities transactions entered into on organized markets in the United States."^[1] -- Ellmist (talk) 00:13, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
