I have been shorting stocks for over 3 years now and have followed his website and SI message board. He's had a lot of good ideas and is mainly a scambuster. That means he has been doing the work of angels, stop "pump-and-dump" scams from playing out and lining pockets of boiler room operators. There's been a ton of them since 1998 or so.

Here's his SI message board:

I am not saying I can vouch for him personally, but a wild allegation like 9/11 link is absurd. He's a stock trader not a terrorist, for crying out loud.

. Anybody following the market early September could see a falloff *without* 9/11 attack - that just hastened it - the market was set to have a serious fall all through the summer. Had it taken natural course, would have fallen right through october, instead of falling sharply then rebounding.

BTW, WE ARE NEAR CYCLE LOW HERE IN DOW AND NAZ. More selloff may be coming, but then it will be another buying oppty like last September. I've been buying low PE beaten down stocks, like in energy, and WCOM as well. stay away from tech until intc hits $20.
