 For Some reasons his mutual funds performed really badly comparing to his record from his newsletters? September 15, 2009
JHMC (Hong Kong)
Shrewd investors need to be skeptical and the little book written by this gentleman is not very inspiring. Why? because the mutual funds he manage is no where near the kind of market beaten records outlined in his book - his newsletters still proclaim that his quantum fund is beating S&P 500 by 20-1 over the last decade on his blog but oddly the mutual funds he manage are all in the negative territory since inception!!!! ODD isn't it?? of course it can be true -
In the book he says that you can use his generous stock grading tool on his blog to determine whether the stocks you want to buy are graded from A to F, and the ones with A generally beat the market by a lot- However further probing into the funds he is managing - somehow most of the top holdings do not have a grade from his website! - and then there are good stocks like HSBC that are in his mutual fund "Touchstone International Growth (A)" but it gets a D or a sell rating from his own stock grading tool from his blog [...]
( the book is about 8 growth criteria for screening out stocks and despite HSBC getting a bad rating on growth it is still in his top ten holding for the mutual fund he is holding - hmmm strange - no wonder it is underperforming relative to the market!!! ) you can verify it here [...]
If I were to be a current investor i would be worried cos this might be a style drift to value investing- a strategy that is not the one you are selling to me originally! (not necessarily a bad thing)
The key point is that i am thinking whether the guy that manages the mutual funds and the guy who wrote the book are actually two different person but with the same name?? if not then why the differences in performance? either one of them is wrong! (or what i write can be completely wrong) perhaps reading another book such as what works on wall street will be far better rewarded monetarily given the time and energy to read a book!
The Author Has Not Beat the Market for 10 years June 21, 2009

The mutual fund that the author manages, symbol NPMDX, has had negative returns for the rolling 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods as of 6/20/09. Not only have the returns been negative for all time periods but he has drastically underperformed an unmanaged index fund, another poor investment choice.
The fund has 16 million in assets according to Morningstar, which is extremely insignificant in the money management world.
The author is a momentum trader who only makes money in bull markets, but doesn't everyone.
Save your money...
It is very unfortunate that all of these so called "investing" books don't tell readers to prepare for down markets and how to protect their assets. just "buy, buy, buy"...
 momentum investing February 8, 2009
Bayview (Plano, TX USA)
The system described in the book is in essence momentum investing with time horizon probably a few month to over a year.
The most useful chapter is chapter 18, "Lions and Tigers and Bears. Oh My!". It talks about the dangers on Wall Street.
lots of hype December 12, 2008

I very much agree with the bad reviews here. Read the book and subscribed to two of his letters, Blue Chip and Emerging Growth in late 2007. Did nothing but lose money, and this is before the big Oct/Nov drops in the markets. And to make it worse, he blows much smoke and hype about how well things are going. Check out investorcrap.blogspot.com for some real feedback. Hope it helps someone not to lose money from his book or letters.
I am the suffer of this book November 2, 2008

I bought this book last year and subscribed one of his services bluechip growth. Up to now, the whole portofolio is down more than 50%. What is relative unbearable is:
(1) When his stocks hit hard, he did not take risk control. Instead, he insisted that he focus on fundenmental and wall street is wrong. So he should go back to school to learn the first rule of investment.
(2) When he finally decided to sell of some of really bad stocks, he kept saying he did good job and looked for better ones.
(3) Even with the fact that the whole portofolio has down more than 50%, he manupilate the performance of his certain stocks in certain period to boost his service.
I believe I am not the only one who suffered his lier and marketing crap. The following blog has the collection:
