Over the past several years, I'd seen analyst Meredith Whitney on assorted Fox News business shows. And, going back further, I think she appeared on CNBC when Larry Kudlow and Jim Cramer co-hosted a show.
She seemed smart and intelligent, though with Fox you never knew if they booked her for her brain or her blond hair.
Well, I'd say you've got more going for you than good looks if Michael Lewis devotes a column to you:
An obscure and little-noticed analyst of Wall Street banks, working for an obscure and little-noticed Wall Street bank (Oppenheimer & Co.), Whitney has become, in a matter of months, a woman who moves markets. It all started back on Oct. 31, 2007, when she published her now-legendary report on Citigroup Inc. In it, she pointed out that the company's dividend now exceeded its profits -- the bank was handing money back to its investors faster than it was taking it in from its customers.
Interesting article on Meredith Whitney and her impact on today's market. I read a similar article at http://fisher-investments.typepad.com.

awfrey: I clicked the link but didn't see anything about Whitney. But I just scanned, perhaps I didn't look hard enough.
