[...] “Google Analyst: ‘Worst Economic Environment In Our Collective Lifetimes’” – If Google is the current flagship of the industry, its stock price indicates that it is entering some stormy waters. Reading that post though got me thinking that it would be really interesting to study the communication environment of business analysts – it is the second time in my conscious lifetime that they collectively get things wrong.

[...] Google Analyst: “Worst Economic Environment In Our Collective Lifetimes” | Techcrunch Google’s stock price closed yesterday at $291, the first time it has dropped below $300 since 2005. It’s 44% off of its 52-week high of $725. Most analysts think its cheap and getting cheaper – the average price target is still over $500. Former analyst Henry Blodget, however, thinks it could fall to $200 (I prefer the bullish version of Blodget myself). [...]

It’s easy: you set up your own site, invite smart people to talk/write, get your name into as many ears as possible and that’s it!

Do you think Jim Cramer is genius? He’s an average stock picker (as proven by MSN), but he’s entertaining.

Also, you spelled “you’re” wrong, and forgot to properly capitalize or punctuate everything you wrote. So, while I may be an idiot, you certainly don’t make a strong case for why you’re not an idiot.

Furthermore, where were all the CFAs when the global economy was driving itself off a cliff?

I’m not saying that we should “sack talent”, I’m just saying that if more highly-educated, analytical geniuses went to work for the businesses that they study so intensely (while providing little to no real insight), maybe they could actually do something useful. Also, if banks didn’t pay guys like Mahaney (not to mention their executives) so much money to provide so little value, they wouldn’t need government bailouts.

Actually he said “44% off of its 52-week high of $725″. 44% off of 725 is actually 406. Yesterday’s price 291 is 60% off of 725.

Henry Blodget is an idiot, why would you even mention or link to him? He just looks at a trend and then picks a position on the same trend that’s more extreme than anyone else. When google is going up, it will go all the way up to 2000, when its going down, it will go down to 200…

He did the same crap when was an analyst. It’s a total joke… how has he gotten back his credibility?

44% of 725 is 319. There is a 3 in 300 and a 1 and 9 in 291. Maybe Mike is slightly dsylexic. Hehe

You are correct – I didn’t specifically say that bank stocks are typically between a PE of 10-15. My bad – I should have said their PE is “closer to that of a bank stock than a tech stock.” Tech stocks “typically” have PE’s of anywhere from 30 to 100+, depending on their niche and product of course. PE’s are subjective at best, but they are the only barometer we have when it comes to comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges.

Without wishing to sound like a Luddite, that’s highly subjective view of “better”.

True, the information access of the web is a seismic shift. But the 24/7 on-switch and the blur between Work and Life is not welcome for everyone and actually makes some people’s lives worse.

Plenty of new gadgets simply overload us with more crap, rather than making us more efficient.

Indeed, evidence points that in fact, prior decades *were* better than now – life expectancy could be falling…. See: http://blogs.ws...us/?mod=WSJBlog
