Speaking of dominatrices, Meredith Whitney has been quite the busy bee: the analyst voted most likely to stick a heel up your ass spread the love-hate usually reserved for Citi yesterday afternoon to Merrill Lynch and UBS. Whitney estimated that the firms will report writedowns of $6 billion and $11.1 billion, respectively, this quarter. In the new note, published late Wednesday, Mistress W wrote that fourth quarter results will be a “rude awakening,” except to the management who’s known about the losses for a while but chose not to say anything.

WTF meredith just cut your numbers to where you want them and get it over with already. What's with this I cut it today but also I'm going to cut it next week business. this is practically market manipulation. she should be investigated.

totally agree, that little harlot is a media hog. it’s like death by a thousand cuts with her. but I guess that will make sure the good folks in the exec offices at oppenheimer remember her name when bonus time comes around. you can’t argue with her early bearish call on citi (and the dividend cut); however, she’s no colin devine who was the preeminent financials bear (ref: the fall of conseco). once the market appears to price in the negative news, she decides her original analysis was wrong. what is new? did she have a subsequent call with management – the news of late doesn’t seem to warrant any global shift in the markets. we all know what’s going on with the cdo, mbs, and ars markets. I’d like to read both reports to see if there really is something new.

Media Hog aside, let's also acknowledge that she's aiming at a moving target...my guess is that CMBS and other asset classes have lurched since her last estimate, hence the changes? Or am I crazy. Just playing devil's advocate.
One thing I definitely am is too lazy to read the details of her report.

she is NOT yummy. just because she has one good picture on the internet, everyone thinks she's a goddess.
i got news for you in person she would make your dick wilt for ever thinking you wanted to hit it.

@12:39 - I agree, pictures can (and will) be deceiving. we've all used paint shop, just think what a professional can do with soft lighting an plenty of make-up. as an example, I chose my real estate agent by looking at pics on the corcoran site. when I met the woman, she looked more like the girl from the real wives of new york than the little pussy cat dolls look-alike in her head shot! I ended up buying a place with a different agent, who happened to be a man.
@12:25 - have you seen her husband...the professional “wrestler”? fake or not, I'm sure he could still kick some serious a$$!
@general zod - young megan barnet is calling bull$hit on the report. http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/top-5/2008/03/27/Wall-Street-Research looks like whit-whit isn't the only one searching for headlines. I believe both have a tinge of credibility - how's that for flip-flopping?

Didn't she used to fuck the DOR of Oppenheimer, back before the Oppenheimer name was sold by CIBC and used to pretty-up the bucket shop Fahnestock?

@1:49 -
If this is the case she will fit right in at the new OPCO...no shortage of sex scandals at Fahnestock (a.k.a. bucket shop).
Amazing that she is still working there for Bud Lowenthal. He runs just about the worst shit show on wall street.
I am sure she will be leaving there along with anyone else worth a grain of salt as soon as the dust settles on Wall Street.

Her dome piece is hideous

So she announced this a few days after ML announced a 10-15% workforce reduction and the day after UBS cut budgets by around 10% in several areas.
Is that all it takes to figure out what the writedowns will be?
Posted by guest , Mar 27, 2008 3:58PM
wouldn't it be cheaper if mer or c just hired her for like 10mm a year to shut her up?
wall street protection racket?
did she not get the memo that wall street only eats their own in private?
Posted by guest , Mar 27, 2008 4:22PM
okay look at her on CNBC right now, what a beast. ugh.

Maximum dick wilt can be achieved by a quick viewing of GS' Abbie Joseph Cohen at any angle, at any time of the day...

Brown University BA? Name an Analyst on the Street that graduated from that school full of spoiled brats. Maybe it's her name: Merdedith and Whitney. Or that he likes to show the top of her "thigh highs" for Fox - below:
