Yeah, as the other reply here said, that's what I was referring to with "giving advice."

As in, his rep seems (from my distant POV) to be about his acumen as a mentor, not investor. Maybe that's bullshit! Maybe he's just great at picking the right horses! And that's totally a talent on its own, and one deserving of a lot of respect.

But it seems like his star was really made on the perception that he knows how to give good advice, which as I said above has a bit of a weird "those who can, do..." vibe to it.
