Everyone is talking about bank analyst Meredith Whitney today, as once again it seems like her predictions are coming true.
Just as she was on Bloomberg TV this morning saying that there would be massive Wall Street layoffs (50,000, actually), Deutsche Bank announced a 1,900-person round of job cuts.
The founder of the Meredith Whitney Advisory Group has been right before. She accurately predicted the subprime mortgage crisis, for one.
But she's also been wrong.
We decided to give you a glimpse at her life so you could judge whether or not she's on the money this time.
Meredith Whitney was a motivated and business minded child from the start.
Like Warren Buffet, she had a lucrative news paper delivery service. She would even wake up at 5am on the weekends to deliver her papers.
While in high school, she would dress the part of a young female Wall Street analyst, pearls and all.
Meredith attended the all girls Madeira boarding school and did a post grad year at the Lawrenceville school.
She graduated with honors from Brown in 1992 as a history major.
Meredith claims that the comprehension and deciphering skills she developed while studying history has allowed her to better understand and link movements in financial markets.
