Chris does write very well, and does very thorough research. His view of most of his picks tends to be conservative.
He is lacking in money management skills. I watched him ride APL from $45 to $5 before he finally let go of it. He even identified the biggest problem in the company’s financials as a strength, it wasn’t.
I believe he will find some good companies, but DD can not be stressed strongly enough, and if things go wrong be wary of his poor money management.
HI
I have his book – the detailed method must be effective – but requires much to much time and ability for me. I have Capital and Crisis for several years – currently is up on all but 2 out of 21 in the listing. But I have only one – it is well up. A year or two ago he paniced on some problem with Atlas pipe and sold and recommended sale, so I sold also – shortly later it went back up a LOT – too bad.He is a buy and hold investor, but lately has sold 4 or 5 names. Indeed once AGORA has your address you will get a deluge of over- hyped copy – I think they subscribe to Bonner’s philosophy shown in his books – most people are part of a dumb mob.
