Show me a post where he has ever stated he sold a core internut holding. People who have been here a while recall that William sold AMZN (for a profit I believe) too soon at one point, and bought it back 50% or so higher later on. It's possible that since that time (maybe a 14 months ago?) he has held the "core" stocks he owns straight through (I don't know), since it was later last year that he commented on a newfound confidence in using primarily or solely a B&H for the leading Internet companies. Much as some would like to think this board is about who's better, it's at its best when real thoughts and ideas are exchanged (as opposed to hype, panic, and drastic impossible calls on the direction of the market or a single stock). I'm sure we've all bought and sold stock that doesn't make the news here, and obviously (short of someone actually faxing a statement to somebody), nobody should really care one way or the other. One can look at someone's profile for an idea of what stocks they like, and judge for themselves whether or not the person brings credibility to their posts by what they say. It's great (and is a pretty basic step) when people have a profile. Randy

OT In the 2-3 years I have had William peoplemarked, he has been one of the straightest shooters on SI. Sniping at him from behind a pseudonym is the height of tackiness. >>Show me a post where he has ever stated he sold a core internut holding. Before he morphed into a buy and holder, he often posted his moves in and out of YHOO, AMZN, etc. If I recall correctly, he was out of AMZN while it tripled last winter. Now that he's not trading, his core holdings are--by definition--presumably not sold. Earlier today, he posted today that he sold some VERT, which he apparently used to carry at a high weighting in his portfolio. Have a good weekend.
