Interesting. I've heard some who took his advice to be 100% in equities used leverage to get more funds for his buy signals. That would have been a disaster if they did this to take advantage of his "gift horse buy" just before the market collapsed over 50% in 2008/09 as they would have been forced to sell at a loss for the margin call. I find buy signals valuable (if they're right) because I can always find some money to make the investment. Did you add significantly when he gave the gift horse buy when the market was in the $1500s in 2007 and fell to the $1400s?
