How do I sell my stock?

Shares can be sold through a brokerage account or private transaction. The transfer agent does not buy or sell shares.
What is a medallion signature guarantee?

A program developed by the Securities Transfer Association to meet the requirements of a rule set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission which broadened the number and type of financial institutions eligible to guarantee signatures. By medallion guaranteeing the stock to be sold, assigned and transferred, the guarantor is taking financial responsibility if the transfer is completed fraudulently.
Where can I get a medallion stamp?

A medallion signature guarantee may be obtained from a bank, brokerage firm, credit union or savings and loan institution that is members of the medallion stamp program.
