I will NOT be opting in.

Firstly, opting in will relinquish my voting rights to GROWLING. Without knowing what we might be voting on, it would not be wise to give up my rights. I can always vote with them if it is in my best interest.

Secondly, however small, there is a cost. And for those with a lot of shares, it can be in the thousands.

Finally, the judge’s lack of enthusiasm for the committee leads me to believe that they might not be acting in the interest of all the shareholders.

They have my moral support for reclaiming as big a piece of the pie for shareholders as possible, but I’ll be keeping the steering wheels in my own hands.
