    Oh...my.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        It’s just so perfect that a member of the tribal expert class ends up clowning themselves in their old age, and is too stupid to realize it.

        Education is extremely important.

          He was lucky that his keys lined up with reality a lot. But as all investments state, past performance is not a guarantee of future results. It doesn't pay to get too convinced of your own superiority. Don't get high on your own supply.

            He used prior results to develop his model. It’s called an overfit model and is known to be fool’s gold to anybody familiar with algorithms to predict the stock market, or with machine learning in general. Then there are the issues with the unquantifiability of many of his 13 factors. It’s absolute garbage, and the whole situation is a case in point of self styled academic experts being given absurd and unearned respect. And yes he is high on that supply, and it has turned him into a pathetic clown.

              Couldn't happen to anicer more deserving guy. He monetized his nonsense and now his subscribers are all dropping him.

                He should've weighted some of his keys... for example, Harris got a "false" for likeability. Which is accurate. But I'd argue if you were undecided as a voter and saw Harris vs Trump in front of you... Trump is a leader, Harris is a "say what you want to hear". People want a leader.

                  That guy's got the second least convincing haircut I've seen today.

                  I was only joking

                    Both Mik and Nate Silver nailed it. Lichtman’s keys were actually correct, he just misapplied them.
