Abby Joseph Cohen Bullish But Preoccupied

By

Abby Joseph Cohen.jpgGoldman investment strategist Abby Joseph Cohen is sounding very bullish on the second half of this year. She says corporate profitability may be up dramatically from the second quarter of 2008. But taking a look at her word choice, it seems like something else is at the forefront of her mind. After describing investor fears of inflation as “spectacularly premature”, she went on to caution that the “spunk” of consumption growth seen earlier this decade will not return. However, she did say that Bernanke had been “extraordinarily effective” during this crisis.

    I haven’t followed her research since she blew it in last bear market. Did she call the 2008 market? If not, than her comments are useless.

    Pretty sure she had positive double digit equity returns predicted for 2008, whoops?
    That picture and the word “spunk” just aren’t forming a pleasant image in my mind, *shudder*

    From now on, we’ll refer to him as A. Joseph Cohen.

    @10 she doesn’t look transgendered…just unattractive. As a tranny-fucker, you should know the difference.

    4 GS is known for encouraging their stars to retire at a certain point in their career, which she has clearly passed. How has she avoided that fate?

    I’d hit her harder than George Foreman. She’s lost more people money than Amway.

    @20 good thing you’ll never come close to the level of success (not talking about her calls, but how high she’s risen through the ranks).

    Will her sex change be funded by our new national and quality health plan geared for everyone (but funded by a few)?

    she takes female hormone injections to offset the steriod injections, hence the hairy back and asscheeks

    Just how did she “rise through the ranks”? Is she Hank P’s mistress? Maybe Winkie’s?
