That was the HMS Pinafore one.

The second was sent me by Bill. He's a mate. I met him in a fumidor in a hotel in Little Rock one night before he became President.

Yes, good question, they all have that "nobody knows what we're doing look about them"

I must admit Bill was a complete gentleman in the fumidor.

Notice that Manny has a flak jacket on and Bill doesn't.

Julia appreciate your comments but feel you need to have an original thought.

I'm not in a position to have an 'original thought' when I don't know what happened. The information offered from various sources, including many ex Storm clients posting on this forum, has been contradictory. I am, therefore, dependent on what I read from other people, including the bank employees.

I'm grateful to you, Steve Bordern, for explaining the process engaged in betwen the client, Storm and the banks. It's convoluted to say the least.

And, another one, perhaps you haven't bothered to read through the whole thread. If you did, you would see that I have expressed plenty of 'original thought' re the wisdom or otherwise of anyone who became involved with Storm.

Perhaps you could give us some examples of what you consider would be 'original thought' regarding this thread?
And it would be good if you were to clarify if you have in fact read right through the thread.

Sorry should perhaps introduce myself. I have been following this site since Dec 08 but never posted before. Agree with some but feel some use it to grandstand and brag. Solly, thankyou for your useful reporting. GG appreciate your satire but your keyboard skills disappear on any postings after 10pm. Would that be due to indulgence in liquid sustenance? Julia appreciate your comments but feel you need to have an original thought. Know that some Stormers were driven by greed but the majority including myself just wanted to have a comfortable retirement. Agree that the SICAG site leaves a lot to be desired.:)

No problem mate but I'm just the paperboy, the real credit is with, Anthony, Stuart, Kate, Duncan and all the other scribes. And a special little mention to Michael West right at the beginning when all this started to ramp up. ;)

Sorry Julia, your advice is really practical but I would love to see a posting from you that is not just comments on other postings as I think you have a lot of sound advice to offer. Even though I have been hit hard by Storm I am perhaps a bit blase' as you have often stated "do not put all your eggs in one basket" which I didn't so I will survive. By the way it is Mate-ess GG & Solly

gg, I'm back on ASF again the boys are on the back deck discussing a old incident regarding a near miss with a DHC-2 Beaver and an outrigger, believe me I know how it ends. The kava bar story about the ex missionary will be next I'm sure. :rolleyes:

Anyway, do you think the pic is real ? Maybe it's been shopped ? I'm sure I've seen a similar pic with the Mandelas.

I'm sorry to hear you have been involved with Storm.

You haven't responded to my query as to whether you have read through the entire thread so I'll assume you haven't.
If you had, you would see that I have from time to time expressed my view about Storm's 'advice' and the wisdom or otherwise of anyone who did not check out for themselves how sensible such advice was.

However, there's a point where to further suggest what clients should have done or should do in the future seems like rubbing salt in old wounds,and would likely be seen as being patronising or even unkind.

So, if you find my comments inadequate, then I expect I will just have to live with that.
 
Julia, have read every thread since I found this site in Dec 08. My only excuse for having been taken in by storm is time short to investigate everything fully and trusting an adviser that I had been with for 12 years

Good morning Solly,

An excerpt from your referenced media release:-

"... "While the details of individual settlements remain confidential, elements of some of the settled cases include cutting loan obligations, reducing interest rates and repayment obligations and waiving fees. ..."

I'm wondering what S & G's take is?

Does the CBA pay them direct, or does the client?

If the answers are top secret, then I'll understand if you don't answer.

Normally their take is 30%, and of course, they always need more fuel for the corporate jet.

Thanks for the morning news - I enjoy it.
