Again, this is your what 4th or 5th or more post about the guy and you claim you're not obsessed and not "following" him?

You didn't answer the rest of my post. Why?

Why don't you do your own stock picks. Read his or others that you "follow." But make your own decisions after your own DD.

Why would anyone buy just because someone shouts "buy" "hold?" It's a message board. I can almost understand someone doing this on a pay service but even then, by the time it hits your email, it's already made its move. We saw this was pretty much the case in the short guru world.

What I typically do, and I'm not advising it, but it works for me is to find something that is hot, wait for the inevitable dump, and then buy. Check my posts on the Kitchen if you don't believe me.

As for John, like I said, he's been straight and open, in your face, since I started reading his posts. If he has a history, I haven't checked it out and it doesn't matter to me. I do my own work as should you and everyone.

Let's turn it around perhaps so that someone like you who wants to attack before thinking may understand. I'm no fan of Anthony but if he were to come back here, I'd certainly read his posts, do my own DD and perhaps short after the inevitable cover. The information would be very useful and probably right on the money. The crowd skews the result and I've learned never to get in the middle of the crowd. I've got to believe that SI readers pretty much know that.

So, again, why all the effort to attack another poster? Don't read his posts. Don't read mine. Make your own picks. Perhaps start thinking on your own instead of just following the "cut and paste" on investment boards and also on the political threads, particular ones that don't allow open discourse and exist largely to bash the US and Israel.
