FIDUCIARY DUTIESFeb 03, 2014

Rosa, it's FIDUCIARY, not "fugidiary". Fiduciary comes form FIDES, Latin for FAITH. It means the moral and legal duties contracted by a person in whom we have deposited our faith and trust. All the board members have FIDUCIARY duties towards us shareholders, because they have access to our money, which they administer for our benefit, not theirs.
