SECTION 1. The right to vote is limited to active Partners except as specified in Article III Section 5.

SECTION 2. Approved methods of voting are VERBAL, SIMPLE MAJORITY, TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY, THREE-FOURTHS MAJORITY, UNANIMOUS MAJORITY, POINT SYSTEM BALLOT, and PROXY. However, in the absence of a formal motion to conduct a given vote in another manner, all votes shall be carried by a simple majority of the active Partners.

SECTION 3. The above notwithstanding, prior to voting the BUY or SELL of an individual stock, conditions may be nominated to be placed on an individual stock. Each condition will then be voted for on an individual basis as specified in ARTICLE IV SECTION 4 for a BUY or ARTICLE IV SECTION 5 for a SELL. By default, the Treasurer will submit a limit order prior to the market open for the closing price plus (BUY) or minus (SELL) five (5) percent. If the order does not execute at the open, it will remain active until cancelled. In the event of more than one condition passing on an individual stock, the President will decide the condition to apply based on the higher vote total as specified in ARTICLE IV SECTION 4 for BUYs and a simple majority vote for SELLs. If a simple majority is not reached for a SELL condition, the President will make the final decision.

SECTION 4. The above notwithstanding, the general method of voting the BUY of an individual stock will be by a unanimous majority. If two (2) or more stocks are proposed, the point system ballot will be used for ranking. Based on the number of proposals, each Partner assigns the highest number to the most preferred stock and then gives each remaining stock one less point, with the least preferred stock receiving one point. If any Partner does not wish to BUY any given stock, a point value of zero (0) should be assigned to that stock. Any stocks that receive a zero (0) point value will be discarded from consideration. The remaining stocks' point values will be summed up and their totals ranked from highest to lowest. In the case of a tie, the President will decide the final enumeration.

SECTION 5. The above notwithstanding, the general method of voting the SELL of an individual stock will be the THREE-FOURTHS MAJORITY. Each stock still in consideration is then brought up for one of the following, with the majority being executed and ties broken by President:
