<He never struck me as a bullshitter> never did me neither. which is why to be frank, i remain outraged. <but when it came to actually what he was doing in the market he seemed to be a straight shooter.> again, my perception for a very long time. <I guess it's possible that when I was away from SI from Mar - Dec of last year that he suddenly changed character> well the change in the market may have had a tad bit to do with it <g> <but I have yet to see anyone point to anything specific. > we all have to draw conclusions about fellow posters as we see fit. getting into details is really a waste of time on everyone's part. but at the same time, i try to speak my mind, and consider it even to be a service to other posters when REAL MONEY IS AT STAKE HERE. i appreciate your straightforward response. rob

>>He never struck me as a bullshitter (except when he tried to justify the valuations of his stocks which I never took seriously)<< craig, you were wise. others weren't. the bull market wore down many folks with a reasoned investing approach and they said to h*ll with it, i'm in no matter how silly it is. they did this, in part, b/c the williams of the world bsed like mad about a "new era." even you admit it was bs. i saw it as such. however, others threw in the towel and eventually lost their butt. is william at fault? he sure enjoyed basking in the glory and being viewed as a guru by many. he did play a prt in some people's decision making process. even so, i don't think he deserves most of the trashing he gets b/c some folks play the blame game too much. they are probably shell shocked. my only issue with william is that i said a gazillion times that his style of speculating always ends badly. of course, he disagreed. vehemently. he was also wrong to do so.
