I welcome the stunt if it gets publicity. That's how attention is paid. Nanjeanne May 2019 #12

Unless the proxy is for hundreds of thousands of shares LibFarmer May 2019 #47

You are easily amused. So glad you find humor in your cleverness. Nanjeanne May 2019 #67

Did he do this last year, the year before, 2010, 2000? George II May 2019 #3

To my knowledge Bernie wasn't asked to be a proxy before. Uncle Joe May 2019 #7

It doesn't upset me. Why do you ask? Once again, wouldn't it be more effective.... George II May 2019 #9

Because Bernie is doing it now but you give him no credit for it, Uncle Joe May 2019 #14

Funny. sheshe2 May 2019 #72

I hear that's considered a derogatory reference melman May 2019 #30

Luz, do you have a whole library of links to my posts? George II May 2019 #36

Perhaps so. MineralMan May 2019 #44

Seems creepy, doesn't it? George II May 2019 #46

Well, there's no rule against it. MineralMan May 2019 #50

Relational databases are better. TexasTowelie May 2019 #78

I agree, but they're harder to set up. MineralMan May 2019 #86

But, but, I thought he was crashing the meeting? cwydro May 2019 #87

HA! oldsoftie May 2019 #8

Is he actually "crashing" or was he invited? earthshine May 2019 #10

Correct, if he's a proxy he's welcome there, he's not crashing the meeting. George II May 2019 #11

Bernie was invited, but Walmart will not be giving him the "VIP" treatment Uncle Joe May 2019 #16

So he's not crashing the meeting. George II May 2019 #20

That might be in the eye of the beholder, I have no doubt Uncle Joe May 2019 #21

Someone with valid credentials (i.e., someone else's proxy) does not "crash" a meeting... George II May 2019 #32

Then you might want to send an email to the author of this article. Uncle Joe May 2019 #35

Nah, if he said that he probably wouldn't understand the concept of "proxy" voters at annual mtgs. George II May 2019 #39

I believe he does, it's in the article, obviously his title is referring Uncle Joe May 2019 #43

I wonder how much BS's Walmart book sales have made him and the shareholders. lapucelle May 2019 #31

Can Bernie participate in the meeting if he isn't a shareholder? TexasTowelie May 2019 #13

I suppose the share holders have the right to appoint a proxy Uncle Joe May 2019 #19

A shareholder can sign over his/her votes (generally one per share) to anyone else. It happens... George II May 2019 #33
