I think they're pretty good as a basic overview, but some of his ideas are a little strange. I get why he says investing isn't always the best way to make money, but at the same time his proof is by removing the effects of inflation from stock market gains/losses, and stating that it's either a small gain or a loss if you're just going for safe picks. Sure, this is technically true, but protecting against inflation by using the market makes saving a lot better than simply allowing the money to sit in an account.

So yea, he probably does more to help a general audience than most sources, but I don't think he always expresses his thoughts in enough detail for a lot of the audience to draw the correct conclusions from what he's trying to put across.
