Deception? Motive? That's pretty bad.

> what are you getting out of this??? < Absolutely nothing!!! This post was not directed specifically at you....but at all of the non-stop comments about Bill's decisions, Bill's portfolio, Bill's deception?!? I just find it hard to believe that so many people blame one person for their decisions! As far as I know there is not one person who has paid William Harmond for his financial advice. As far as I know there has not been one company that William has mentioned that he personally helped to bring to an IPO. As far as I know there is also not one person who can state that they 100% correctly "read" the market, and timed all of their buying and selling of securities perfectly. IMO Bill does not owe anyone anything.....just like everyone else who posts on any message board anywhere on the Internet. I do not feel that any companies were being "pushed" on anyone....and that all of us have a responsibility to make the decisions that will best fit our specific circumstances. Each one of us has different circumstances, and a difference tolerance for risk. As I stated before, I view some of the discussions as a method to evaluate a specific company...as well as trends that seem to occur in the market. I am sorry that anyone has lost money in this market, and I can honestly say that there is probably no one who is invested in this market who has not lost money. If I have lost money, I can only blame myself....because I was the one who made the choices that I've made. You seem to be very angry and bitter about some of the choices you've made....and feel you've been "deceived". IMO no one has purposely deceived anyone. From what you've shared, you have so much in your life to be thankful for....and yet this obsession of blame and anger seems to be blinding you of all of the blessings you have in your life.
