Some food for thoughts.
Comparison between fortune teller and financial analyst
A fortune teller wears fancy clothes with bright colours.
Without you noticing, she skilfully asks you about you, your past and what you expect from life.
Then, she peers into her crystal ball and makes generic assumptions about what should happen to you in the near future.
For hiring her, people call you fool or victim.
If the fortune teller guessed right, then she is lucky. If she guessed wrong, it's the proof she is a fraud and a con.
You pay her only a few dollars, she leaves in a trailer after all...
A financial analyst wears a strict suit and an expensive high tech watch.
He reads every public data you released about your company and shamelessly asks to visit your headquarters and what are your roadmap and objectives for the next year.
Then, he peers into his LED display and guesses how well your company should perform for the next semester, with a second decimal accuracy.
For hiring him, you are called a CEO or an investor.
If the financial analyst guessed right, he deserves a wealthy bonus. If he guessed wrong, it's because your company underperformed and deserves to be punished at the stock exchange.
You pay him thousands of dollars, he lives in a big penthouse in the city and has a yacht at the marina, after all...
Luckily for our farmer bank account, Welwick wears fancy and colourful clothes.
