I only own individual stocks in my "play portfolio" consisting of a total of 20K invested during the last two yrs before ER. Not for any reason other than to learn by doing which is the best way for me and for the fun of it. So its been 4 yrs now and am close to 36K total. Not all that great considering the market during that time, but like i said, for fun and learning. One of the stock i should not have bought, at least not in the low 70's was QCOM, but i did. One of my few losers, but I only bought ten shares (like I said, a "play portfolio").
Anyway, just got two proxy voting cards. One white one allegedly from QCOM, with a warning that Broadcom who is attempting a hostile takeover (60 cash, 10 in broadcom shares or 70 total while QCOM now hovering around 68) will be sending their own card ,a blue one, with a slate of board members who only want to accept the offer. Sure enough, I got that too, same day. Never had this experience before. Is such seemingly misleading action even legal?
