| Questioning Symantec's 'Virtual' Shareholder Meetings Most shareholders of Symantec (SYMC) dating back to around 2005 know all too well the danger of unchecked executive power. Now, in addition to the destruction of shareholder value, Symantec may be poised to impede the ability of shareholders to sufficiently, let alone wholly, enjoy and exercise their rights, based the company’s plan to carryout a virtual-only annual meeting of shareholders on Monday, September 20th. Glyn Holton, Executive Director of the nongovernmental organization, United States Proxy Exchange, has warned of the disadvantages shareholders could face given the current lack of safeguards with the meeting delivery system designed by Broadridge. Below is a copy of a letter I have sent to Symantec’s Head of Investor Relations, Chairman, and CEO. I encourage all investors to visit the US Proxy Exchange website to learn about the Symantec virtual meeting matter. September 17, 2010Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |

Software Top 100 Ranking Shows Market Dynamics Dennis Byron submits: Balder Verberne of softwaretop100.org, the research house based in The Netherlands, released his annual list of the top 100 software companies in the market worldwide in October.

The Software 500 has added non-software-specific services revenue to its ranking methodology in the last few years. As I've noted elsewhere, as a guy who used to be able to build such lists in his sleep when working for IDC, I like to give such research a quick once-over to see if I agree with the rankings and relative sizes attributed to each enterprise software provider on the list. Everyone -- including the big quant houses such as Dataquest and IDC -- agrees that IBM, Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL) and SAP are the leaders in the software market. That's in alphabetical order, not actual ranking. Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
