with Shareholder Perks
|
(based
on the past record)

Some
companies send a gift or coupons to
their shareholders. Although such
perks can be discontinued any time,
and the fact that a gift was sent
out on one year does not mean they
will send it out again in the future,
but we can always hope... (go to Shareholder
Perk Gallery to see the photos
of perks we've received so far) |
