Also, if you own at least one share of stock, they will mail you information about the upcoming annual stockholders' meeting - where, when, directions, etc. They will let you in the door if you own only one share, but they will probably have security people ready to pounce on you if you start making a lengthy, unanticipated, disruptive harangue.
