Meredith Whitney (born 1970) is a prominent banking analyst who has appeared frequently on CNBC, Fox Business, Bloomberg News programs. Based in New York City, Whitney manages her own advisory firm, Meredith Whitney Advisory Group LLC, where she produces company-specific equity research on financial institutions and analyzes the sector's operating environment.
She plays by her own rules and calls the market as she sees it. She has always been honest and pointed. CNBC has her appear when the market barrons are looking to let the hot air escape from the balloon. Meredith gets to play her way but only by invitation. Whitney wrote a particularly pessimistic, but accurate, report on Citigroup, on Oct. 31, 2007, which got her attention from many Wall Street analysts, and news media. She has since followed this report with similar reports and predictions, which have tended to leave the companies involved with lower stock prices as the market has taken her opinion seriously. 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.
