This guy loves himself. Waffles on about his achievements. Much as he thinks he's Warren Buffet, his portfolio is in the toilet compared to the overall market. His portfolio "value" is rising but only because people are paying him monthly for garbage they can do by themselves. To have zero investment growth in 6 years is a terrible opportunity cost. The latest idea is his website where the members can help pick the stock. So they pay you Chris but they also do the work? Laughable. It is way better to just buy an ETF that tracks the overall market.

What a boring narcissist
