Interesting comment about the Hotline.....maybe the best thing to do is read the monthly newsletter, and ignore his bi-weekly hotline. The idea of a hotline for a buy-and-hold-forever analyst is sort of ironic isn't it? If I am making long term investments, I shouldn't need to check in twice a week right? My tuition has been expensive, but I've learned to avoid chasing falling stocks such as CPPKY and CD, just as JD advises against chasing rising stocks. I've also learned to not delegate the due diligence work to someone else. From now on, I'll do the research, after all, it's never been easier due to the WWW. The key is to understand the underlying growth rates in sales and earnings and the cash flow and future growth prospects of JD's picks. I think JD is way short on fundamental analysis, rarely does he mention any ratios such as growth rates, P/E etc. If I don't know the ratios, how can I determine if JD's "fine company" is undervalued and worthy of an investment of my hard earned money? No advisor deserves my blind trust. That said, JD has some excellent ideas that are worth checking out.
