What is Meredith Whitney Holding Back On Now?

While she is predicting the imminent default of many municipalities, apparently Meredith Whitney may be holding back on us.

Well at least that is the sense you get after reading her latest interview with Bloomberg.

The financial analyst who made a prescient call on Citigroup (NYSE: C) in 2007, apparently held back when it comes to her predictions about the fate of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers.

"I didn't want to be responsible for accelerating a wave of panic. I was just too scared. I remember not being able to sleep on Wednesday night. You have to be so careful about what you say if you've got the microphone. I wrote a note—but I sat on it... I was silent on Lehman for the same reasons."

She said she doesn't regret holding back.

So what else is Meredith holding back on? The real killer of JFK, the cure for AIDS, her Elvis romance, life on other planets...

Come on Meredith! We love you but come on!
