In defense of Larry, he is amazingly open. In response to questions, I got an e-mail from his personal e-mail account as well as his work e-mail account. His work e-mail reveals his direct phone number though I would never call him. He has revealed details of his personal finances that are really no one's business. He really does eat his own cooking. He has made a substantial personal investment in the alternatives.Random Walker wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 2:56 pm Larry takes attacks on his integrity VERY SERIOUSLY. He emailed me a copy of one of his investment statements to prove he takes his own advice. He has AVRPX, LENDX, SRRIX in a tax advantaged account.
Obviously I’m a highly biased huge fan of his. But just because I’m biased doesn’t mean I can’t be right. For those who haven’t done so, read his books. The clear thinking, internal consistency, and straight forward relaxed enjoyable delivery make his integrity obvious.

The thing is, I really don't know him. I have no special access that no one else does. The few times I have contacted him by e-mail, he responded promptly as if I were his number 1 client. I am not a Buckingham client, like I said I do not know him personally. The way I was treated you would think I have $100,000,000 invested with them. I have zero invested.
No one, and I mean no one else in the investment business does this. I was a huge fan of Louis Rukeyser back in the day but I hugely doubt that he would have personally answered e-mails from fans to the degree that Larry does. It is clear that he spends a fair amount of time responding to e-mails and personal messages. He really is doing his best to help individual investors.
He has posted his work e-mail address here and one can always contact him by personal message.
