Schwab and Turner to Launch Stock Shopping Network
(2003-02-02) -- Their near simultaneous resignation announcements was no coincidence. Charles Schwab leaves his eponymous discount brokerage, and Ted Turner departs as Vice Chairman of AOL Time Warner to become partners in the Stock Shopping Network (SSN), a 24-hour cable channel similar to Home Shopping Network or QVC.

Oh geeze. Now you've given them the idea.
Lauching Ted Turner sounds like a better idea to me. Posted by: Richard Nieporent at February 3, 2003 09:18 AMMaybe if Ted Kennedy resigns from the Senate, he could team with Ted Turner. I think the two Teds could call their company, "Turner and Hooch." All we are saying, is give C an end.

I and my manager want to redeem (transfer)the sum of Twenty-Eight Million Dollars(US$28,000,000.00)from ABSA bank through the name of a foreign partner or company who will stand as the beneficiary of the fund to an offshore account.This fund is being held at the JHB branch of ABSA under Unitrust Investments in the name of Mr.Donald Zambrano as the trustee of the account. The account has been declared dormant by the bank since Aug.2001. This sum was discovered during our last general auditing of the bank's accounts and holdings.Our investigation and inquiries in the transactions of Unitrust Investments revealed that the company was registered in 1999 by Mr.Donald Zambrano ,a citizen of Zimbabwe. Mr.Zambrano was among the white farmers killed during the early invasions on white owned farms by the Zimbabwean war veterans backed by President Robert Mugabe and the ZANU PF. Mr.Donald Zambrano was a member and financer of the MDC, a white minority party opposed to the government of President Robert Mugabe and the ZANU PF. The MDC however lost in the general elections adjudged We will arrange for the necessary documents that will be required in the transaction and use our position and contacts to obtain approval and transfer of the funds.However,as public servants,we need the assistance and cooperation of a foreign partner to achieve this successfully. We intends to invest this fund in a Joint Partnership We will offer you 25% of the total fund at the end of the transaction, while the remaining 75% will be for my colleague and me. Contact me through my private mobile number above for further discussion or send me Best Regards, Interesting. Posted by: cheap life insurance at October 5, 2003 05:57 AM |
