Yes and several other articles about him over the years. That is why I said "claimed".

The members who post all their winning trades after the fact? 

I guess you missed this post?

How about restaurant stocks like Dine? I think it's pretty low right now. They are still busy doing take out and soon they will open back up again. It may not go back to $100 but I believe there's nice money to be made

With a grain of salt. After all, it's Wikipedia. But the bottom line is that I doubt a really successful money manager would abandon that career to become a TV personality.

Is this somehow your first time reading a wiki article? Do you not know how to click the footnotes and follow through to the sources?

What we have is many instances of tracking his picks on his show and it doesn't look good. Links to details in the footnotes of that wiki article.

Name me other billionaires who got burnt out of being billionaires? I guess we found a שונא בצע.

Shouldn't it be very easy to track the returns of his charitable trust?

When I watched his show he made a ton of picks. Did they track all of them?
All that matters is his hedge fund. He was either successful or he wasn't.

You might find this hard to believe but everything isn't about money.

That's like me saying hefterjashert to you.

You can base it on what you feel comfortable with.
There are tons of articles on him if you want to research him.

Do you keep track of how many times he has been right?

I am not a score keeper or said that he wasn’t a successful manager (although many tactics seem quite questionable and from the wiki seems to be a lot hyperbole) what I’m a referring is to the many times I read his analysis particularly in earning seasons and the guy completely misses the boat. He’s good financial news but nothing more...
Many heavy traders I’ve spoken to have said the same
