His products are hopelessly conflicted in their aims and philosophy. Whilst espousing the virtues of long term value investing in his book (which is actually quite good), he is running an investment fund that (like most) seems to compare it's short term results against that of the market. Nothing wrong with that, but there is an incentive to ensure short term performance rather than long term performance if you take this approach. The fact that he publicly states on his blog that his fund is in and out of stocks like a bicycle courier on a busy city block tends to suggest that this is the case.
His Skaffold product is fine, but it is essentially just a data provider/aggregator piece of software with a few 'Montgomery' bells and whistles added (ie, most of it is freely available elsewhere). The software 'updates' the Montgomery intrinsic values for stocks daily. So it would likely appeal to those with too much money who like to watch computer screens all day long. That's their business of course (and apparently Roger's). But it hardly fits the value investment philosophy of focussing on the performance of the business and ignoring the 'noise' of the market and it's commentators (of which Roger is happy to be one too, apparently). A finger in every pie.
My advice is to read his book (along with those of other value investors like Graham) and ignore his other products.
