But not shorting in a market tumble...stupid, but his call to find the bull in the bullshit. Same as I feel sorry for trapped 401Ks that can't 'bear it' short. ~m I don’t know how anyone could beat the market with those Dorfman caused rules JC goes by.

Barron's knows this, hence the charts they provide, because THEIR PEOPLE do it too Front running, insider trading, book talking....pure corruption That is why one is better off never reading a single commentary or advise if they can't help themselves but to read it at face value.

Front running, insider trading, book talking….pure corruption

That is why one is better off never reading a single commentary or advise if they can’t help themselves but to read it at face value.
