I've read many of his posts and he seems to really know what he is talking about. A few weeks ago he also did make some calls on stocks that worked out well. In addition to this, he made 4 calls to a new member in private which he later thanked him for publicly since they were all good. Granted, I don't know who this new guy was and can't verify any calls made in private, but since Auto himself pushes for transparent calls from others, he's at least saying the right things. In my opinion, he says very little, but very much of it is little nuggets of gold, just like the double tops vs double bottoms in uptrends vs. downtrends. The way he talks gives me the impression that he is actually a trader and not just a forecaster/economist.
