Proxy Proposals

You are not wrong. Both Drs. Zerhouni and Nabel would have to vote against Dr. Frost. 

Yes, correct. But the issue is not whether EZ and GN will vote against Frost. If and when they do, and let's all hope that there is a when, it will be a 'vote' behind closed doors. 

Even if a lot of votes come in against this group of clowns (save the ModeX guys), indicating a total loss of confidence in Frost by more shareholders than last year, there will be at least one member here who will say something like, 'ya see, Frosty still deserves the reins cause he and his fellow execs voted that way."

The outcome of the absolute vote count is a foregone conclusion. That will be presented in the annual meeting as evidence of confidence in the CEO, which is akin to saying Putin received the majority of votes in the 'election', and therefore the proletariat champion him. Steve Rubin, in perhaps his only identifiable function as "Executive Vice President" will take a break from the unofficial duties that occupy most of his time (ordering coffee and doughnuts), will likely intone that he is pleeeeeeeased to announce that the proxy proposals have passed, casting the rest of us into another period of interminable purgatory. Frost's incompetence will be sanctioned by himself and his minions and the value propaganda will continue on the board. 

So, while the Annual Meeting will be a ceremonial imprimatur by a 'majority of shareholders' of further chapters of woe and destruction in The Fraudster's Tale being written by Phil Frost, the real money will continue to mete out their relentless judgement of the Phailures and Phoibles of Phil.

Bill and I are closing our eyes, crossing our fingers and toes, clutching our rabbit's feet, inserting the thousandth pin into our voodoo dolls, hoping that the much earlier than usual Annual Meeting will bring some news of hope for investors, like a changing of the guard. Ok, gotta go....I got a call on my landline earlier that I was accepted into the NASA astronaut program (after filling out the form in my box of Cheerios), and that my first flight is later this week.....so I gotta get my ass to Houston (we have a problem). 

I also voted the same as Calvert except for VOTES for Elias and Gary.  Wish I had been voting on 500,000,000 shares, that might just make it count for something..........>>MIGHT<<, sigh.........

So, if you look at my post from the "Opkodd.com Closing Decision...." thread you will see that basically no non-insider, or non-compromised shareholders (i.,e., the only ones left of sound mind) voted for our fearless leader and his henchmen. In that post I said:

"Of the 697 million shares outstanding, he received 417 million votes "For" his continuation on the BOD. Aggregating the holdings of Frost, Zerhouni, Nabel, Jane, Rubin, and 4 Israeli insurance companies (who clearly are beholden to Frost.....there is NO obvious reason why they collectively own nearly 28 million shares of Opko), that total is 390 million shares. Therefore, a total of 27 million non-biased shares voted "For" Frost. And likely a good portion of them are brain dead."

I'll edit the number: ~418 million votes "For"

Frost continues to drive the Ferrari over the cliff, and still won't let go of the wheel.
