Should you register the stocks under you name?

There is a great advantage in having stock held in street name,as it avoid tremendous paper work and time on your part that would otherwise be spent keeping up with stocks certificates,dividends, and stock split.

It also eliminates time and trouble taking securities back and forth to your broker each time you conduct a transaction.

Ans it averts problems and notorious delays with transfer agents,whose work it is to collect,register,transfer and mail certificates.

The itemised monthly statements of your account,provided by most brokers,will also give you complete records for tax purposes.
