Hi Lucero

Context might influence my choice of one or the other. However, without any context, I would say that FCC officers and Telmex shares would be the most likely choices.

Dear Amy,

Thank you so very much for your quick reply.
This is on a legal letter a lawyer is writing...would that make a difference ?

Best regards,

Lucero

Hi Lucero

I would need to see the entire sentence(s) in order to decide if the possessive form(s) might be more appropriate.
