but I am Canadian only for 15 years and English is my fourth language, so I might have got something wrong.
I've been in a mess like like this only once - when I invested in Laidlaw and they filed for the bankruptcy protection in 2001. I've received and filled huge amount of paper to the Court of New York (or whatever court it was) claiming my loses and it was the end of the story. My averaging down did not work. I've just lost more money...
I have only a few thousands shares of FIU I bought at $1 and don't think my vote will make any difference. I've already kissed those few thousands $$ good by. But I hate the idea those SA thieves make money on this sale at my expense. Of course I vote AGAINST on all accounts.
I never vote before and I need some advice. As I understand, whatever I received with the circular is the proxy form enabling someone to vote on my behalf if I will not attend the meeting:
"If you wish to attend the meeting or designate another person to attend, vote and act on your behalf at the meeting, or any adjournment thereof, other than the person(s) specified above, insert your name or the name of the person attending the meeting in the space below."
It's written just above the Voting recommendations. So it looks like the actual vote takes place at the meeting. And if you don't attend the meeting and vote, your votes (casted online or by mail) end up with those two appointees from BOD (Hick and Champigny) and they hypothetically can vote for you whatever they like regardless of your instructions (I will not be surprised).
My question is - who should I appoint as a proxy? If I put my name and won't attend the meeting those BOD members could say I vote "FOR". Can I appoint as a proxy someone from Olma, or Sprott, or one of you trusted gents who is going to attend AGM? (No Prouditaians, Goddafis, Pillios, etc. please... Sick of reading your posts.)
Much obliged for any reply,
Jimmy
