The exit wasn’t due to any ‘one thing,’ and the decision came after a series of talks with the board, Tim Hockey said

TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. Chief Executive Officer Tim Hockey said his departure from the online brokerage no later than the end of February 2020 has nothing to do with mergers and acquisitions, “pro or con.”

The exit wasn’t due to any “one thing,” and the decision came after a series of talks with the board, in keeping with “conversations CEOs have with boards.” He said the details of those should remain confidential. On Monday, the Omaha-based company abruptly announced Hockey’s departure and said the board will begin a search for a successor. The move surprised Wall Street, particularly as the stock has outperformed the S&P 500 during his tenure, and led to speculation the company may be on the hunt for an acquisition.

Hockey said the change is not to take another job immediately and there was no violation of conduct. He called his departure, after more than three decades at TD, a “very significant shift” for the psyche. “You get an opportunity to know who you are as a person,” he said.

Hate crimes are down, but experts say that may not be the full storyThe number of police-reported hate crimes in Canada fell 13 per cent year-over-year in 2018, but experts warn these numbers may not paint the full picture. What 'multiculturalism' boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture—and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture. Why blur out the offenders face? If she is so brave enough to be a racist and a harasser she can show her face to everyone so the police can ID and go ahead and charge her with hate crimes and assault. To be using ANTIFA members to do your stats is moronic. As is not reporting Hoax hate crime in the stats, which they definitely are hate crimes. The people who do hoax crimes are the lowest of the low of haters. Which there has been an very substantial increase.
