@sama @pmarca Not to be an analyst apologist, but that comment isn't a prediction. Also, lots of analysts were predicting a rally then, too

@pmarca @sama There were also many banks that had bullish ratings, and stories about ones that were tied to the IPO. Still, I get @sama's pt

@sama It’s not about firing the people, it’s about firing the concept that we can predict the future. Much harder.

@sama like so many fairground fortune tellers, we only ever remember their hits and the misses get buried...

@sama as far as I know it depends on how often/far they are away from street consensus.

@sama analyst value is measured in eyeballs, not accuracy.

@sama yes, analysts are rated. Analyst who lose a favorable rating published by financial press will lose jobs. But it's overall not 1 stock

@sama probably submitting “right to be forgotten” requests to google right now…
