Intel's e-proxy is best so far

By Dominic Jones on April 3, 2008

FINALLY! After almost nine months of watching a depressing procession of 200-odd companies botch things, Intel Corporation yesterday showed that it groks the SEC’s new default electronic delivery process for e-proxy materials.

By Dominic Jones on October 24, 2006

MANY IR news releases waste investors’ time unnecessarily because companies don’t provide direct links to webcasts and other information on their websites.
