I think the issue is he is calling himself "dr" to enhace his credibility, i.e., "you can trust me because I'm a PhD" "I'm smart as evidenced by my PhD" "I know more than you because I'm a PhD" etc. so if he's calling himself a "PhD" when he ain't one - or even if he is one and its unrelated to stock trading - that aint' kewl. IMO
