I do NOT support this proposal. This is extremely dangerous to a free and fair market. The current regulations ensure that control of a company's decisions remains in the hands of long-term investors. These investors hold an interest in the success of the company. If shares held through derivatives are also granted voting rights, representation of shareholder voting will be disproportionate in terms of both actual commitment to the company as well as one's financial investment to the company. Simultaneously, this hurts retail investors and long term investors.
