Do you, when you drink water, do you reuse the pump water bottle, the Mount Franklin or whatever it is that you're drinking out of?
Yeah, I've been reusing this one for months and I've been told it's not good to reuse plastic bottles because you start to digest the bottle, but I'm still going with it.
Yeah. I've heard something similar. If you use the bottle too much, it can actually release something. I don't know. Maybe one of our listeners can write in and tell us what actually happens if you continue to use one of those disposable water bottles for too long.
What paperwork do you receive after buying shares or ETFs?
Yeah.
I bought a nice aluminum one to help save the environment, you know, but it keeps going smelly.
Oh, geez.
so you just need to clean it or you just need to drink it to the bottom i soaked it in bicarbon it only lasts for like two weeks before i have to clean it again and i'm too lazy

So we're going to try and keep it nice and tight, really concise podcast episode on what a share registry is. What are the different things that go into a share registry? Why do you need one?
What do you do with it? If you want to do DRPs, we're going to share our screen, show you what they look like when you actually go into one. And basically just all of the admin stuff, which we kind of just let go until now on the podcast series. Yeah. So Kate, tell me, what is a share registry?
Okay, so when a company lists on the Australian Stock Exchange, there's a lot of administration when you have thousands, if not millions of shareholders.
