if "they are making a purchase, they could state why..."

Although I don't agree with William and the bullish consensus on this thread generally, I appreciate William's simple posts of his purchases and sales. He is giving us the best indicator of his perception of risks by tipping his cards. His style may be different, but he very candid and, for me, usually a contrarian extraordinaire.

>>This is just a suggestion to give greater value to the discussion on this thread.

You're full of suggestions, Eric. Suggestions about rules, suggestions about content, etc. Gene thinks you're trying to pick a fight. He could be right, because, for example, I don't see any complaints by you about objectivity on the Amazon thread.

I don't owe you anything. I'm not a newsletter writer. I never have deposited any checks from you. I just say what I'm doing and debate issues I'm interested in. Take them for what they're worth, contribute here if you want, but quit complaining.

Eric - One more thing about risk - I think it's impossible to measure or assess accurately. A Nobel Prize in economics was awarded to these guys for a formulation for evaluating derivatives and that 'facilitated more efficient risk management in society':

You know who they are, don't you?
