Duker,

I didn't want to bring it up, but since you mentioned it, I will tell you what I think of Elaine Garzerelli.

To start with, I distinctly remember her "call" of the market crash. It was never in writing [strange] and was nowhere near a prediction of a "crash". Secondly, she was way late in issuing a buy after the 1987 decline. After she left her firm, she tried her hand at the real world of money management. She failed miserably. She has this group of indicators which she changes regularly to make them fit what has happened. When the market is going against the wisdom of her indicators, she merely changes her predictions of earnings and interest rates and presto, chango she can go from a bull to a bear or vice versa. She is nothing more than a publicity seeking opportunist.

-Robert

Duker;

Why do I respect Elaine Garzerelli? The main reason is as I said before, she's usually calls it right. She does occasionally make a mistake but readily admits it when it happens. She's the only analyst I 've seen do it. She's honest. Also, she explains her methodology for making her evaluations. It involves 22 weighted factors aquired through careful research and observation. She is very observant.
