Michigan has a couple of almost mountains, Mt. Arvon and Mt. Currwood…both roughly 1,979 ft. Now people have chosen sides and they pile rocks up to make one higher than the other….
Yeah, well, just got the information for the shareholders meeting that is coming up. I own a few, very few, stocks in the company I work for, but still a stockholder. :P There are twelve positions to be filled and exactly twelve people nominated. Democracy at its worse. There is also a section with how the board recommends you vote for resolutions. I’m going to likely go the opposite of most of their recommendations. It gives too much power to the board, which all stockholders boards already have too much power over how much compensation the board gets. Guess those stockholders they tell the rest of us they have to think about are OK, with their gratuitous compensation packages. Go figure, as the top stockholders all sit on one anothers board. More importantly some of the resolutions makes them far less transparent. They want us to vote against preparing an annual report on lobbying activities. Hey, if you are lobbying against your employee stockholders, I think we have a right to know. Especially, as to how it will effect the employees, which even though the company went public a few decades ago, we still make up the larger share of stockholders. Worst thing that ever happened to the company was going from company owned stock to public. Sure a few people made out big time, but those of us just starting with the company with no vote on the matter and those that follow, not-so-much… If there is a problem, it’s with the attitude, “I’ve got mine, who cares if anyone else has the same opportunities I had to get it.”

@varnes Guess they saw the movie ‘The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain.’ (1995) Supposedly a true story.

That’s about the size of my offshore account ! The only thing missing for this picture are the loan sharks swimming around.
