No explanations really necessary, I'm just wondering what people think.

I think he used to be a pretty big shot analyst. Definitely more of an entertainer these days, though. I want one of those sound boards.
Boo-Ya!

I think he's more entertainer then actual analyst. Years ago they changed the rules and info he was receiving from fund mangers and companies was deemed "insider info" and thus illegal. Suddenly his performance tanked. Pretty easy to be profitable if you know what's coming.
In early 2006 a group of researchers from the Kellogg School of Management release a report/paper on his invest advice. They claim if you followed his advice you'd lose money. Of course they didn't adjust at all for the fact that he repeatedly tells is viewer to "do your own homework." Which in my opinion is the most important bit of advice he gives. They also didn't take into account he usually doesn't advise a buy and hold, but rather a buy and sell.
In the end for me it's hard to take him too seriously. Watching him is a little like watching a clown. Buy, Sell! Boyaah! Honk! HONK!! It's as if any minute a tiny car will appear and other clowns will get out.

Can he not be both? He's definitely an analyst, and his high octane delivery makes it entertaining (not to mention the post it's for the bad calls).
That being said, I'm still sitting on a stock he recommended. The fundamentals were there, but it hasn't performed the way I would have liked.

In my opinion, he is more entertainer than analyst, but he does do both.

He's both. And he's a millionaire. But honestly, he's like dog **** on your shoes to me. I can't stand more that a few minutes, then I'm looking for the remote.
