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.
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. --

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] --
