Oct. 4
Christine Callies, U.S. stock strategist at Merrill Lynch

It is "premature" to declare that the Comp has bottomed, but investors willing "to start nibbling before the correction is over" should start scaling in, now that the Nasdaq has breached 3600.
Performance:
COMP: -35.6
Kommentar:
Anybody who "nibbled" at 3600 is now choking.

Kommentar:
GOTY

A good call.

Nov. 17
Don Hays, president of Hays Market Focus
Einschätzung:
Predicted the Nasdaq will continue to decline for the next six to 10 weeks. Forecast the end of the decline will come after a "climactic four-five days that will really knock the stuffing out of the market" and take the Comp to as low as 1800.
Performance:
Comp: Fell as low as 2252 on Jan. 3.
Kommentar:
Right direction, wrong target.

Nov. 28
Greg Smith, market strategist at Prudential Securities

"The days of growth at any price are definitely behind us, and we might wind up with moderate
growth at a reasonable price or having a more value-oriented outlook."

SVX: +0.4, SGX: -16.6
Kommentar:
Yep.

Nov. 30
Brett Gallagher, head of U.S equities and deputy chief investment officer at Julius Baer Investment Management
Einschätzung:
If the market bottomed today, "it's certainly not one that's going to stick." ...sees 1800 as "fair value" for the Nasdaq. "Now that momentum is entirely broken, we think approaching those levels is a bit more likely."
Performance:
Comp: -12.7, traded as low as 2251.
Kommentar:
Again, right direction, wrong target (so far).

Dec. 4

Buy : Convergys (CVG:NYSE), Liz Claiborne (LIZ:NYSE) and Wal-Mart (WMT:NYSE) CVG: -11.4
Performance:
LIZ: +12, WMT: -6.7
Kommentar:
So-so, which is pretty good considering.

Dec. 5
Greg Nie, chief technical analyst at First Union Securities
Einschätzung:
"This was a relief rally in the truest sense of the word. "It's too optimistic to say we're putting in a V-bottom. The underpinnings are iffy [regarding] sustainability."
Performance:
DJIA: -3.4, SPX: -8.8, COMP: -21.5
Kommentar
Learned the error of his bottom-picking ways.

Dec. 14
Sam Ginzburg, senior managing director of equity trading at Gruntal

Meatloaf was right: Two-outta-three ain't bad.

Dec. 18
Ginzburg
Empfehung:
Short Providian (PVN:NYSE)
Performance:
PVN: +4.9
Kommentar:
Better on the long side.

Dec. 19
Peter Canelo, U.S. investment strategist at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
Einschätzung:
Foresees managers switching back into tech once the new year arrives. Believes expectations for 14%
growth in tech earnings in 2001 are overly pessimistic -- he's looking for high teens. Says valuations in the sector are "absurdly low."
Performacne:
Comp: Rose nearly 25% in January.
Kommentar:
Good call on January, but earning estimates seem overly optimistic.

Dec. 24
Hays
Einschätzung:
Announced that his asset-allocation model had turned bullish, suggested the Comp and S&P could enjoy 15%-to-20% gains and the Dow might approach its all-time high in a forthcoming rally.
Performance:
Comp: Rose as much as 12.8% on closing basis after 12/24. SPX: rose as much as 5.2%. DJIA: Traded as high as 10,984 vs. record 11,311.
Kommentar:
Again, right on direction, wrong on the targets.
