Some more food for thought... Gates sold 100,000 Univision shares-SEC filing ,----[ Quote ] | The foundation said it sold its remaining stake in Univision, | which is in the process of being acquired by private investors, | for an average of $35.34 per share in open market transactions. `---- http://yahoo.reuters.com/news/articlehybrid.aspx?storyID=urn... http://tinyurl.com/yll88p Bill Gates lends cash to buy newspapers $350 million to MediaNews ,----[ Quote ] | Gates involvement has been very behind the scenes. In fact many of | those involved in the deal didn'teven know he was one of the investors. | It was carried out through the Gates Foundation, the world's largest | philanthropy outfit. `---- http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33849 ,----[ Quote ] | My background is finance and accounting.... | | However, the Gates Buffet foundation grant is nothing more than a shell | game in which control of assets for both Gates and Buffet remain the same. | | THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH BY THESE TWO WILL BE | MUCH MORE MASSIVE BECAUSE THEY WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO PAY ANY TAXES. `---- http://www.mail-archive.com/futurew...@fes.uwaterloo.ca/msg0... |
