To play devil's advocate here....

Assuming the stat given elsewhere in this thread - that he has an average return per prediction of 7.9% - if you take out the Netflix call, he would have a much higher average return.  

Also note that essentially nobody is able to outperform the market in the long-term with common stock.  So, if you take out the Netflix call and his average return goes up to something like 20%, that's pretty good. 

I have no idea what his average return would ve without Netflix though, because I'm not gonna go do the math.  But, I do know that it would be a lot higher, if he has in fact missed Netflix by 2000%.

That analyst profile says it is a 7.9% return for the last year.  You can't take out something that happened a decade ago.

That's not what it says.
