Yeah, sometimes folks can be a bit hard on Pachter. You have to give the guy credit though, he puts his name out there with his predictions that thousands, if not millions, will read about. EGM runs a feature every issue where they talk to people in "the biz" about their jobs, and Pachter was in the latest issue. He was upfront about some of his mistakes in the article. Let's face it, if all of our predictions were scrutinzed under a microscope, we'd all look pretty foolish at times.
It's crazy the amount of education the guy has, a lot of which probably isn't necessary for what we do(simply predicting sales). There is a lot more boring, technical stuff that his job entails though, like advising people what stocks to purchase. More power to him, I say.
