I don't think he did well because of the bull market (he also did very well in 2004-2005). He's an incredible trader there is no doubt in my mind. The only thing that happened is that he got super-rich and doesn't care about his newsletter anymore. Thanksfully there are others with similar styles that took his place.
What he should do to retain his self-respect is to shut down his site not because he is not good enough, he is, but rather, because he will not give his newsletter the time it needs. I'd still give him money to invest in a heartbeat if he accepted it. I think he's a great trader, he's just turned into a lousy/lazy newsletter writer for the last year or two.... but then when you're sitting on 40 mil, why would you even bother spitting out a newsletter every night for 200 people.... just not worth it in my opinion.
As per trading -- he's probably one of the best traders in the last 20 years. Again, this doesn't mean anything in terms of his newsletter, but you cannot equate the two.
