When I first began following JD I was somewhat of a novice(moreso than now) and as noted in previous posts believed his hype and invested in the various Asia picks noted elsewhere. Unfortunately, by the time he was hyping his financial recs, much of my capital had already evaporated and I had little confidence in any of his recs. While I did miss profits in his European selections,SEIC,&CCR, I felt safer in diversifying and did quite well in EWF, FRG, GF,GSP, etc. You are correct about the uptrend in the Asian stocks. Even GFASX &GFCHX have finally started to slowly rise now that they are no longer on his recommended list.AS previously noted, I find JD an excellent contrary indicator and now that it has been addressed on the thread I am concerned about a potential conflict of interest with regard to his other "hats".
