His track record is better than most and unlike others he does COMMIT to a position, rather than have a foot in each camp like many of the other analysts.
Most analysts now seem to use the word volatility to cover themselves for any eventuality.

This is what his investment company have purchased recently:
Portfolio
We have made some significant changes to the portfolio in the latest six months, and during
July, particularly reducing our largest and most successful portfolio holding, Allco Finance
Group(AFG). We also had in excess of $12million additional funds from the rights issue
completed in March.
We cut our AFG holding from 1,438,068 shares at December 31, to 1,050,000 at June 30
during March/April at prices in excess of $11.00 a share and then further to 639,051 at July
31 at prices in excess of $10.00 a share. This was a portfolio decision dictated by the
substantially overweight position that had developed in AFG due to a very strong capital
appreciation.
