Some of the signers of the petition have said "I just bought some Disney stock so I can vote with Roy." I have heard the same from people here.
But doesn't buying stock help Eisner? If we all ran out and bought stock (or more stock) wouldn't that raise the price of said stock and make current Disney managment look good?
I understand both arguments, I just don't know which wins out. Perhaps it's somewhere in the middle, where we quietly buy some stock (or just hold on to what we've got) and put a bit of oomph behind Roy when we can.
Oh, and another question - the whole "voting by proxy" thing....could Roy say on his site "Email me if you want me to be your proxy"? What kind of paperwork is required for proxy voting, if any?
