Bloomberg’s, Simone Foxman, notes that Einhorn is slowly becoming an investor to reckon with whom the market is starting to listen to, having made some of the finest calls in the recent past.

“He tends to be really ahead of this plays and so he can buy in cheaply which is what he was trying to do in October and then ride out the wave. […] Last month it really was just his largest holdings were up quite a lot all 5% or more. You talking Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s all did really well,” said Mrs. Foxman.

Einhorn remains one of the top gainers of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s recent gains that have seen it clock all-time high in terms of market valuation. Apple’s impressive rally in the market has mostly been attributed to the magnificent refresh cycle of iPhone 6, which has seen the Cupertino based company rake in millions in unit’s sales.

Investors who took the bold step and followed Einhorn in some of the calls are sure to have ridden with him in terms if gains. Foxman points out that Einhorn is becoming a fundamental stock picker in the market worth the respect.
