No, I want Vanguard to hire an independent expert for each company I'm invested in and make the right decisions for me. It is not possible for a human to make an informed decision on voting for each of the thousands of stocks out there. That is one advantage of the fund is they can do that for me.

I have noticed when I vote the shares of the few shares I own that I'm almost always voting with the board of directors. When I've seen a proposal the directors have recommended a No vote on it is always some activist who has their own interests in mind at the expense of me. Sometimes the directors recommend things I disagree with, but those are generally minor details where either way is not harmful to my interests.
