Meredith Whitney: One Man’s Rant

Meredith Whitney’s frequent television appearances are not sitting well with some people, even though she has been right as rain.

We even nominated her for our 2007 Man of the Year, given she made the biggest call on the SellSide last year.

But her dramatic media/marketing events are apparently causing meltdowns in the blogosphere:

It amazes me that this woman is being treated as some kind of genius by the media, as she met her husband in 2004 on TV as she made a bearish call on Citi then, when it was trading at $50, a level that held for 3 years. So NOW Ms. Whitney is right and she is using her 15 minutes of fame to attack all things financial, single handedly causing a world-wide sell-off. Seeking Alpha

This has to be the single funniest thing I have seen this week. The comments are priceless:

The fact that you drag how she met her husband into your analysis shows that you have been drinking too much kool aid. You sound more like a jilted lover than analyst. SA editors should delete your account.

This is a pretty ignorant commentary. Can you truly make the conspiratorial case that Whitney, Oppenheimer/CIBC, GE, the Saudis, the Fed and whoever else are all in it to bring down the value of your stock portfolio? Don’t forget your meds Mr. Davis.

Bravo to Phillip for unravelling the Canadian - GE conspiracy that obviously motivated Whitney’s comments. Awaiting confirmation which will come through Michael J. Fox (whose character aspired to banking!!!) talking down the dollar on a Family Ties Reunion special on NBC.

Meredith Whitney has been money in the bank, but people clearly do not like to hear bad news, and fatigue is setting in. Bulls might want to waive the White Flag and just watch basketball this weekend. Hopefully she does not show up on television Monday; the quarter could really end with a thud.
