Hmmm, so getting publicity to potentially get on TV as an analyst and generating web traffic aren't motivation ?

This guy's been on CNN already and how long would one last as an analyst posting bad data.  It's tough to get started being dishonest unless you're already in a position to be (a la CNBC analysts?).  When trying to build a reputation from scratch you have to be on it with your data and have predictions run true or else nobody will be listening to you for long.  

My only thought of his motivation would be that he's a big shorter of financials but who isn't when looking at all of the crap paper they are hiding.
