Your credit score. It could be your worst nightmare, or a dream come true. But most of the time it’s kind of like that nosy mother in law coming to stay at your house for a few days.

I told you that they have special privileges depending on the class of stock they own, and that they will use their shares as votes in the election of members of the board of directors of the company.
