Meredith Whitney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meredith Whitney is an executive director of Oppenheimer & Co. (who bought on Jan. 14, 2008, CIBC World Markets, part of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce), and works in New York, where she analyzes the stocks of financial institutions. She appears regularly on Cavuto on Business, a Fox News program. She graduated with honors from Brown.[1]
She wrote a particularly pessimistic, but accurate report on Citigroup, on Oct. 31, 2007, which got her attention from many Wall Street analysts[2], and newsmedia[3]. She has since followed this report with similarly pessimistic reports and predictions, which have tended to leave the companies involved with lower stock prices as the market has taken her opinion seriously.[2]
One of her claims is that goodwill is built in to a lot of companies share prices, and that as the market moves into dark times, this goodwill will dissipate[2].
She is listed as the second best investor on Forbes.com's list of "The Best Analysts: Stock Pickers"[4] As well as being named "one of one of NY Post's 50 Most Powerful Women in NYC.[5]
She has been married to John Layfield since February 13, 2005.
