Dear carly, what part of 3% is beyond your comprehension. you attempt to make some point using a house as an analogy. Carly you use the example of a 100% sale of a house to make some point. Now you could talk about 34 houses and about selling 4 and buying three and taking some profit and then the 33 houses burned down. But as I said. Since you donot refute any data in my last post Carly defines liquidation as selling 3% of ones position. Carly you are straining at the nat of complete stupidity. #reply-16904169 My opinion is that anyone who defines selling 3% of ones position as liquidation as a retarded person Or a person who is delusional or someone who is looking for any sham or lie to discredit a person and then by implied association attempt to make negative character implication against the most admired man in history. The facts again. Carl, 18 million was made before June 01 on the sale of 377486 shares that represent only 13% of the portfolio. So if 13% was worth 18 million and then the remaining 87% would have been worth 138 million and it's now worth a million for a loss in value of 137 million. But the 377486 shares sold are balanced against 325128 shares acquired. That only 52,358 shares sold and represents only 3% of the Portfolio. Now I would suggest that the money or profit covers tax liability. And decreasing any stock position by 3% is only defined as dumping to a retarded person Or a person who is delusional or someone who is looking for any sham or lie to discredit a person and then by implied association attempt to make negative character implication against the most admired man in history. But some just don't see or don't want to see all the details. tom watson tosiwmee
