Amy Xie transcribed Transcript of Record, Volume 4 2215 .
“I transcription took me about an hour to do. Like yesterday, it was a long document concerning the stock transaction between a company known as the Black Star Line and it’s stock holders. There was a Q and A section in the document between two people regarding the topic of the ship line and I found it interesting learning about the Company itself and it’s business. I hope to continue more of the Transcript of Record, Volume 4 tomorrow as it is entertaining.”
