Itâs a television show, the point is to get high ratings and sell advertising, and it has a long-only bias. So when a bear market comes around, he is stuck making horrible calls on the long side, because he wont make short calls and thereâs no ratings to be had in just saying âbear market, sit in cashâ and then running paid-programming to fill the time slot every day until the bull market returns... I really donât have an opinion about they guy, but would advise people I know not to take his show too seriously because I know it has a bad format from the get go.
ratings driven + long only = bad business
