Remember Henry Blodget?

QuoteIn October 1998 he predicted that Amazon, then trading at $240, would trade for $400 within a year. This was thought highly unlikely by many traders at the time; however, just three weeks later Amazon's stock passed that mark (a gain of 128%).

This call received significant media attention. Two months later, he accepted a position at Merrill Lynch,[3][4] and frequently appeared on CNBC and other similar shows. In early 2000, days before the dot-com bubble burst, Blodget personally invested $700,000 in tech stocks, only to lose most of it in the years that followed.[5] In 2001, he accepted a buyout offer from Merrill Lynch and left the firm.
