This is a topic that does not get much discussion but who do you consider the best sell side analysts of all time to be? None come to mind besides Danny Scotto.

This doesn't necessarily make someone all-time best worthy, but Mark Baum (yes, from the Big Short), was a killer financials analyst on the sell side. Claim to fame was getting on a stage, calling out multiple banks that were going to go to zero, and walking away. He got them all right. Probably much harder to do nowadays, but there's a reason he caught the 2008 trade.

First off, probably very few people on this board have been in the business long enough to make an 'of all time' call. Second, if you have been around that long, you know that guys have good calls and bad calls, it is inevitable that you will have bad calls if you stay in the business long enough. So I think a better discussion would be 'best sell side calls of all time'.

From that perspective, the Enron calls were obviously pretty big. More recently, I think Tusa from JPM being dead on with GE for over 2 years was pretty impressive. That's probably top of my list. I was not working professionally in 08, but I'm sure others have some memorable calls from that period.
