>Do you have any basis for this post, or are you shooting your mouth off? William, I really do wish you would quit editing your posts. Go ahead and finish it will you?

For the record, in real time, William edited his post 3 times. He added the following sentences in INDIVIDUAL edits to his original message. How am I supposed to respond to your posts when they change every second? Edit #1: This man is one of the most astute investors around. Edit #2: I remember him buying Citicorp in 1990, and Apple a couple years ago when no one wanted them. Edit #3: My sense is he's just a bit better-informed than you post seems to imply.

This man has billions of oil revenue, and he invests it in hundreds of companies. Just because a few of them came up winners doesn't make him a genius. He's also got his fair share of failures. Are you honestly saying you didnt think it appeared self serving for him to come out and say: "I don't normally announce my stock purchases, but this time I think I'll be generous to the public investor and let them know exactly what I bought." GIVE ME A BREAK! cnbc has been reporting on all his picks all day long, EXACTLY the sort of response he was hoping for. > This man is one of the most astute investors around.
