>>That is why we shun him.<< Yes, the royal "we we" is shunning him. Thats why you follow his posts so religiously. After all, you wouldn't want to miss out on a good tip, would you Kevin? If the wee-wees were really shunning him, they would have him on ignore. They WANT acrimony. The Amazon thread sometimes behaves like a lynch mob.

>> You did not hear him when claimed quite spectacularly that he had "not sold a share" from March 2000 to March 2001? << Like I said, that falls under "this is what i'm doing". What is so terrible about saying he hadn't sold a share? Might not have been the wisest move in retrospect, but that's not for us to judge, and it certainly wasn't manipulative. >> but he acts just like those fund managers who lost half their customers' money last year and simply termed it short-term bad luck. THAT'S the point, really << No, that totally misses the point. As far as I know he wasn't running yours or anyone else's money other than his own, so the only person he is responsible to is himself! Mutual fund managers are different. They are running other people's money, not their own, so they have certain responsibilities. Not only that, but I bet even after this rough time for William's stocks I bet he has outperformed just about every mutual fund manager out there over the last 5 years. >> As we dropped below Naz 2000 he still referred to the trend as a "bull market correction" << So he made a mistake. That means he should be crucified? >> To listen to him (unless he's changed drastically in the past month), we can be back at Naz 5000 and AMZN $100 just as quickly and easily as we fell from those levels. << I'm not betting that way, but stranger things have happened! >> If you can show me that William has finally admitted that he, like very very many other investors like him, screwed up royally last year and took a needless bath << This is my point. Why does Harmond have to admit anything? The man's stocks are down quite a significant amount and I think everyone is aware of that. Why does he need to be persecuted and have salt rubbed in his wounds? Sheesh, kick a man while he's down! >> Unfortunately all indications are he still thinks there are no other investors like him << Nah. He'll freely admit to you that I'm numero uno.
