In a class action suit, all members of the class are automatically included. In this case, the class is someone who had a transaction in the stock during a defined period of time. SO, you don't need to jump in. What it may mean is that the law firm is trying to build a more "impressive" case by having more people listed on the initial briefs. Personally, I find these law suits extremely distasteful. Stocks go up, they go down. Investors take risks. IF the stock goes way up, do the lawyers give money back to the company? Incidentally, I don't know what you do for a living, but if it is all connected with the tech industry, and someone notices your name on the suit, and makes the connection, forget about your career opportunity with that person. No one likes to hire and/or promote someone who is known to become involved with lawsuits.
