I find him incredibly entertaining. I was one of the first people reading him online at Street.com, when he was writing and still running his hedge fund. He has incredible insight into the markets. I think you can learn a huge amount about investing and trading from him BUT I would not go chasing after his stock picks. He changes his mind about those on a whim and the way the average retail investor behaves, is not they type of trading Jim envisions in his head when recommending them.
I actually think he does himself a disservice with the rapid fire stock evals. He's too smart to be throwing out 15 second opinions about anything and everything. There needs to be more insight than that.
