» SteveT - Abby
I think much of the attraction towards Abby has to do with her delivery of her message. When I have seen her on TV she always appears to be calm and is very good at choosing her words. She seems so confident and rational in her explanations of her position.Least we forget her primary goal is to get people to buy stocks from her firm or maybe drum up some new business for the investment banking arm of her firm.

In response to message posted by SteveT:Oh yes, sooooo rational. I read a review by Paul Farrell over on Cbsmarketwatch of a recent book by John Nofsinger: "Investment Madness". He describes several types of investor "madness". Dr. Sooner suggests that patient Abby might well suffer from "attachment"(exaggerating virtues and false loyalty) and "cognitive dissonance"(filtering out news that conflicts with one's preconceptions and belief systems).

In response to message posted by Kirk:Don't know, but if someone made me King of the SEC, I would require such a history be made on each analyst/strategist and made available to every, new and current, client of each respective Brokerage firm.

In response to message posted by soonertimer:soonertimer, I hope I did not give the impression I was defending Abby. I do like the idea of making the true record available to the general public for all in the business. Maybe we would have less monkey business

In response to message posted by soonertimer:Don't get me wrong. I like and respect Abby J. Cohen.
When you go to a used car dealer, do you expect them to tell you the car you are looking at is anything less than wonderful?
Why do people expect "used stock certificate dealers" to be any different?
As long as their record is public and above board, I have no problems. Abby and Joe Batapaglia were bulls but they had published asset allocations and we can easily measure their performance if we so desire. They were fairly well diversified.
Tech was selling in 2000 so that is what they talked about. GM sells its Corvette for little profit I am told, but it is good advertising for them to make and build the car as it brings in new technology that they later put into other cars that they make in larger volumes. Sort of a loss leader of sorts I suspect.
What I don't like is the analysts that were pumping internet stocks for their investment bank clients just before the shares "unlocked"... Some "pumpers" were actually short! THAT sort of nonsense should be dealt with in the most severe way.. jail and restitution seems fair off the top of my head.

In response to message posted by SteveT:And Abby stands alone as an untouchable. Despite the acres of market manure she has spread over the years no one will challenge her.
No broadcast host, emcee, moderator etc. will ever ask the essential questions.
But not only that, they continue to actually revere her. Untouchable.
She remains absolutely wonerful, (right, Louis?)
Interesting.
