Are you following the picks or the capper? It makes no difference to me whether the person whose opinion I respect agrees with someone else's picks or is coming up with them on his own. After all, he is attaching his "reputation" to those picks, so he must think they are good.
When I see someone who doesn't sell picks for a living use someone else's picks as his own, I just don't see what's wrong with it. The disclosure tells me nothing. It's not how you get there. It's getting there.
