I've never met him or spoken with him. Have got a couple of his books though.
In the site I linked in, many of his forecasts are for a long bear market in 2002 or a long sideways market. Maybe he had his clients positioned differently....
I guess I'm simply trying to point out that an independent site thinks he's not a great forecaster. That may be taken as a slur, it's not meant to be. I think forecasting is very difficult and couldn't do any better.
He's not alone either.
