Tired of Paper Annual Reports and Proxies? Go Online.

If you are like me, you are tired of having your mailbox filled up during the beginning of the year with proxies and very thick annual reports. Save your mailbox and save the companies you invest in some money by signing up for your proxies online. To do this, first call your broker and see if they can do it for you. If they can't then go to the websites of the companies you own directly and sign up for online proxy voting. Here are links to the sign-up (or investor relations contact if I couldn't find an electronic delivery sign-up) page for the twenty most widely held U.S. stocks just to save you some time:
