Bill died last Sunday from complications related to diabetes. Bill was a classic stock jocky, of the old school. In fact he began in the business when the business was old school...a Gentlemen's Club... back in the days before discount brokers. He knew how to read a chart, buy momentum, and how to cut a loss short. He taught me a lot about liquidity, and money flow, and technical analysis. He also taught me to read the tape and trade off it. There weren't many like Bill. There weren't many who were good enough to survive the new competitive environment. Bill was. Not only did he survive, but he thrived. Part of an era died on Sunday with Bill. He will be missed by me and by hundreds of clients and friends. Good bye, Bill.
