It's been so much more peaceful since I put IG on ignore some time ago. I haven't seen any posts from him on any board in his history that are not negative (though I haven't done an exhaustive study).

He's making money doing what he's doing, that's for sure - no one can spend all day every day doing what he's doing if they're not making money.

I might make a project/study out of him to get a better understanding. Just for whenever I can fit in time to do a little digging.

Let me know - by PM if you want - what you suspect or what you know about the certain group of lenders that seem to be in common with the stocks that he bashes.
