Hi all,

I was thinking about this notion of forming an activist investor group which has been circulating in this community for a little while. To this day I think it is still unclear what that might look like, how to do it "properly", etc.

Perhaps, at least at this stage, we don't even need a formal group or organization at all, perhaps we just need this community that we already have to take a set of actions in this direction.

For one thing, in my opinion at least, there is no online public community space better than this Lemmy instance to get started on this. This Lemmy instance is owned and operated by DRS'd shareholders of GME and is not beholden to outside influence.

I see no reason why we can't use these very discussions on this Lemmy instance, and elsewhere, to determine precisely what it is that we want to propose to the company, and to then proceed to formally make that proposal.

Here is rough plan of action that we GME investors could take without having t

This is far too many characters above Lemmy's post limit - so please check out this resource on WhyDRS.org! Would be glad to talk in more detail in the comments. Let's work with our companies and make them better!

Advocacy and Corporate Governance: An Overview

Corporations constantly make decisions about operating procedures, corporate compensation, environmental policies, and much more. As a registered shareholder, you have a legally protected avenue and platform to communicate directly with boards of directors. Your proposal can open a conversation about an issue which matters to you.

Publicly traded U.S. securities are run by an elected board of directors, which have a fiduciary duty to make decisions and propose plans which benefit investors. The company has distributed ownership among investors, including beneficial shareholders maintaining an account with a Broker, and directly regis

As we have been on this journey for the last 2 and half years we have accumulated knowledge regarding market structure, hedge fund influence, loopholes utilized to manipulate price, and how to own shares in our own name. We have been beaten down by corrupt mods and have had to migrate a few times during this journey. We are harassed and mocked by corporate propaganda channels. We have been confined and our voice limited but our will to change how our market works will not be diminished. We need to find new ways to fight against Wall Street and expand our voice. One of the ways to give more credibility and resilience to the movement is to create an Activist Investor Group.

An AIG is a group of investors or in many cases hedge funds that utilize their share power to restructure corporations in a variety of ways. One such way is by using their shares to change the board of directors. This allows the group a direct voice in decision making in the company and how policies should be made. M

Hi all,

I've seen discussions bubbling up about starting an activist investor group, for the apparent purpose of creating a sort of legal entity of some kind that would enable GME investors to more effectively make proposals to our company and that the company would be required to address the proposals to some degree.

I like the idea but frankly I have no idea how such a group would function.

Some simple internet searches don't immediately provide clear answers, this doesn't seem to be a super common idea. Just looking to ask some questions and try to get some information to flesh this idea out a little bit.

• What would be required to start such a group?
• How does an activist investor group govern itself?
• What would a governance structure look like?
• How does somebody become a member?
• How do members get their interests represented in the group?
• Would there be voting mechanisms?
• Are lawyers required?
• What other costs would be involved?
• I presume the group would

1. GME should work with Computershare so they (CS) can serve as a custodian for IRA’s. Ally and Mainstar have both walked back their support for DRSing IRAs. Computershare acting as a custodian as part of their contract with GameStop should allow for a cleaner solution.
2. Revise the contract w/ Computershare w/ respect to their DirectStock plan, and provide more transparency to investors about both the ownership hierarchy of shares in the plan and the degree to which DirectStock shares are utilized for 'operational efficiency' - often 10 to 20%
3. Issue a bulk of shares available for direct purchase by investors, similar to Home Depot's Depot Direct. This would allow for GameStop to sell shares directly to investors, and would allow purchases to be "Pure DRS" w

A post from someone (bellweirboy) on Lemmy here that talks a little about it here.

As well, there's the nascent discussion about goals an AIG may have. Two of those goals would be

• 1. GameStop working with Computershare to serve as a custodian for IRAs
• 2. revise the contract w/ Computershare w/ respect to their DirectStock plan; possibly moving to something that automatically cuts out the DTCC (for example, Home Depot has something along these lines for the shareholders who purchase directly with Computershare)

#Popping media bubbles.

Getting out there and popping people's media bubbles is valuable - and this helps with that.

People go along daily lives living as they do and browsing the internet as they do and buying the same stuff... from the same stores as they do. As we all do.

Often all that browsing and buying results in blinders and blind spots.

This here speaks to those issues and people - to our selves and friends and to those like us and those maybe not like us.

To the point: printing "business cards."
