There is nothing, I suppose, perma bulls hate more than a beautiful genius married to a pro wrestler (not one of them) who notices the emperors (of Wall Street) are wearing no clothes.

Remember, Whitney faced death threats for her calls that Citigroup, was facing a disaster in the mortgage backed securities market.

Well, she was right then, and she is still alive, thank God.

It always amazes me how men are willing to embrace and welcome a beautilful woman into their world, as long as she isn't as smart as them. If they notice she is actually smarter than them, they begin to quake in their boots and go on the attack.

Here is an interview where she demonstrates not just her intellect, but her ability to reason and her integrity:



Meredith Whitney is not just a pretty face who is willing to sacrifice her intelligence and integrity to be accepted on Wall Street. She is the real deal.

I think she is fabulous, and she happens to be right.
