I have 65 shares of common stock in CSK, which is Checker, Schucks & Kragen Auto Parts.
They used to be held by the company that administered the program by which you could buy stocks pre-tax from your pay.
When I quit that job because I hated Kragen as a definite holdover from being a Grand Auto gal (we got bought out - I was one of only three (of 15) administrative employees retained) I wanted to disassociate myself entirely from the company. So, I asked for my stock certificates to be mailed to me. I wanted to keep the stock, but not pay any fees and such.
I also have an 401k still in the CSK “account” but it’s provided through retireonline dot com. A JP Morgan company. This though is irrelevent, I think.
I also have a rollover account at JPMorganInvest, another freakin’ branch of JP Morgan. I’m in the process of evaluating the funds there, so I can put the “CSK” money somewhere completely away from CSK. Again, irrelevent, I think.
My question, and yes, if you’ve gotten this far, there is one here, is this: how do I cash out/sell the actual piece of paper that shows my stock in CSK? Will/can JPMorganInvest take possession of the piece of paper and sell them for me? Should I find a local stockbroker and pay their fee? I haven’t a clue as to how to do this, I kick myself now for wanting the stupid piece of paper instead of keeping it where I could have just placed a sell order. :smack:
What’chall think? I understand YANAStockbroker or lawyer or in any capacity to have personal liability for any of your suggestions, I promise!
