I Want This Guy's Job

He's every ones favorite analyst: Michael Pachter. I wonder if the actual job description at Wedbush-Morgan asked for someone who was willing to sit a desk with a crystal ball and make academic predictions that even the most vociferous posters on the forums could make with their hands tied behind their back. I have done my best to try and ignore the stories about him, but they seem to be appearing a lot more often. Let's look at his track record over the last couple of months:

• Fixing Manhunt 2 will cost Take Two millions. Duh.
• Halo3 to cause GTAIV delay. Oh really?
• Red Octane a better buy than Harmonix. Yes, $100 million is less than $275 million.
• Buy GameStop stock before the holiday rush. Please take all of my money and invest for me.

It seems like the writers that are continuing to give him the spotlight see the same pattern I do, but continue to post his thoughts. I guess they get some kind of enjoyment out it. It's definite that he does:

I don't solicit all this press coverage. The press finds me. I think that the press finds me because I'm colorful, I'm not shy, I have an opinion and I frankly really don't care if someone agrees or disagrees with it. I'm willing to share.

He's enjoying his fifteen minutes but I think it's time to cut him off. Now he starts making some really off the wall predictions, I may start to listen. He has done it once, and I have to admit, I think it's his best prediction yet: Wii 2.
