Meredith Whitney: Investors Should Avoid Financials At All Costs


"It was a quarter of real revenue shortfalls, real revenue weakness, and I think that is a persistent theme that we’re going to see throughout the next several quarters.

Wall Street didn’t make a lot of head count changes and I think what you’re’ seeing now is the revenues don’t support the expense structure.

Investors should avoid financials at all costs, primarily because of the financial reform bill."
