A counter point, I've profited 93%, a very significant dollar value, following Cox recommendations. Luck? Probably a good helping of luck involved. An investor has still to do their fair share of due diligence.
I'm not looking for an argument. I'm sure some have lost. There are some dogs in that portfolio that have yet to prove the adage "Man's Best Friend", true. But I can attest, profits were to be made following Patrick Cox's advice.
