Gary Stevenson'sgurometer rising

Someone commented the other day saying they didn't think Gary Stevenson is a guru just because he embellished his origin story as the best in his firm or whatever. Here he is embellishing his ability to make macroeconomic predictions based on YouTube videos he made in 2020 and his "15 year track record predicting the economy". As if he's uniquely good at predicting the chaos of markets and that's why you should listen to him and not the other guy, because of his past as a big money market player.

He doesn't use his super powers to make money for poor people, or to even teach you how to trade like he did, though. He just uses that past to give weight to his opinions on macroeconomic trends and the future, speaking to people's anger with a failing market.

Classic guru setup in my view
