This also gives you the right to go to the Annual General Meeting to ask questions of management, vote on resolutions and generally make a noise if you are not happy with the company’s performance.At the ASA I’ve met some great people with a wealth of knowledge. The members are deeply engaged. They take the time to explore every nook and cranny of a company’s operation. They have meetings, discussion groups, seminars and workshops where you can meet and learn. They also take a leading role in holding companies to account.Here's a link to their about page https://www.australianshareholders.com.au/about-usPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.
