It depends on how ownership of the stocks is registered as to who gets to vote. If you own the stocks personally, you get a proxy - usually along with the annual report. If you own that company via a mutual fund or something similar, the mutual fund manager or company does the voting.

Yes, there are many different classes of shares, but the majority of them are "common" where you get to vote. It's usually one vote/share.

Sure, you could band together with other shareholders and all vote the same to attain a certain amount of power - and that is done quite often, but you still have to get 51% of the votes.

That's kind of what I was getting at, those 1.5% of fund managers/ceos could potentially equate into that 51% all depending on the number of shareholders they represent.


I can't see any multimillion $ salaried, multiperk, golden parachute gifted mutual fund CEO's or Board Members voting to start a trend toward lower CEO incomes :???: :wink: :lol: :( That would be Big Business Elitist Blasphemy :roll:

They certainly could. Sometimes a company will initate a hostile takeover of another by buying up shares until they have enough to where they can swing the vote.

That is when you love to be holding stock.

Many investors will simply follow CEO. When John Wilder comes back from his humanitarian missions and hires out as CEO for the next company, watch what happens. The moment it is announced, the company stock price should double. He's made millionaires out of a lot of folks. His salary will be based solely on performance.

Did that years ago with a popular CEO that had been successful and then went to K-Mart, didn't work out :( forget his name.

Why is always about what someone else made? I hope he did, he jumped on a sinking ship and he could not save it! I hope he made millions and went and spent it on T-Bones to help stimulate your income and bought a Lincoln Navigator to help out Kolans father!

He, like everyone else that was investing in real estate and housing prior to the Bush nonregulation mortgage crash, is probably now investing in oil commodities- running up the price of gas and raping everyone for a second time....
