Dthe right to vote on the purchase of a major piece of property that Everyman is considering

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Among other things, the trade confirmation that Anna receives must stipulate the items described in Selections I and III only. The trade confirmation that Anna receives from GetErDone must stipulate the time and date of the transaction, the number of shares sold, and the price at which they were sold. The exchange or ECN on which the transaction was executed is not provided on the confirmation statement. Whether GetErDone acted as a principal or a broker in the transaction does need to be stipulated, but in this instance GetErDone acted as a broker, not a principal. GetErDone did not itself buy the shares from Anna.

Option D is the correct answer, hands down. Unless Mr. Investor wants to start his own company, he should leave the major purchases to the experts.

Option D, definitely. Mr. Investor may be the owner of 100 shares, but he's not the CEO. Let the professionals handle the big decisions!

Option D, no doubt. Shareholders don't need to be micromanaging the company's every move. That's what the board of directors is for!

I'm not sure about this question, but I think C) the right to vote on any proposed changes to the corporate bylaws is also not a right that Mr. Investor has.

I agree with Nikita, because as a common stockholder, Mr. Investor does not have the right to vote on major decisions like property purchases.

I agree, the shareholders don't get a say in every little thing the company does. That would just be chaos! Option D is the way to go.

I'm not sure, but I think it's C. Shareholders usually have a say in changes to the bylaws.

Option D is clearly the correct answer. As a shareholder, Mr. Investor doesn't have the right to vote on day-to-day business decisions like purchasing property.
