Mike Mayo is a megaDUD analyst!!
Matt on Sep 15, 2009 09:55 AMThis Mike Mayo guy is a dud analyst, s bogus charlatan who recommended to investors on September 5 2008 that Lehman's could go from $16 to $28, mere days before that bank collapsed. He is probably paid by the same banks he is supposed to analyze. According to CNBC, he's as corrupt as the ratings agencies of Moody's, Standard & Poors and Fitch. They are all getting paid by the companies whose debt they are supposed to rate. It's a massive outrage and the rating agencies must be dismantled and stopped by the US Government.
