Agreed, but that isn't much to differentiate him from any other money person. If you look at these particular sites that I posted, you'll see that they are commuities of investors that are about meritocracy and not hype. People there are looking to emulate and do the same thing as those that are actually truly making good returns and have to show that they are making such returns. If not, why should I believe that individual over any other internet voice?
AVoiceofReason who hyped Jim Cramer, following his stocks. Now if you watch the Jim Cramer show on CNBC you'll see him now backpedalling on his statements in the past, showing where he made mistakes and where he foiled himself. He shows how he lost money on his own hype.
He's got all those things that you mention. Blog, books, TV show, brand image, and he's stated on the record that his picks are not much better than any one else's even with the years of experience he has.
