Some folk on this thread respect her though. I agree with you.

Abby Cohen may or may not be a *"paid shill"* (as you say). It is difficult to argue that those who have listened to her advice and commentary did not derive great benefits, and profits, from that advice, while other *"paid shills"* (your term, not mine) counseled different actions and were far less successful. Has she, and will she make a mistake or two? Certainly, I have heard no one claim infallibility. Will she one day get it terribly wrong? Perhaps, but up to the moment her recommendations have been superior to almost all others I see out there. I'm not a Goldman client and I don't make my investments according to their strategies. They do, however have an excellent track record and among the most accurate analysis of companies, industries and economic tends of recent years in most of the annual surveys I have seen published. One could do much, much worse than to follow their advice, and many, many people do exactly that: either failing at investing or investing to fail. To each his/her own, I guess. Take care, Randy
