AnaChart’s stock picker of 2022 for outstanding ability to interpret his valuation in a timely manner with both long and short calls on Netflix (NFLX) . His at making timely valuations with long and short calls has led to over 40% potential upside or downside being realized.

Michael has been short on Netflix for the last three years, he remained bearish even when the stock went up by over a hundred percent, he got ridiculed on forums for his stance but he didn’t waiver and then the stock went down to its originals levels justifying every decision that Michael took. And when NFLX went to 250 Michael became bullish, set a price target over 40% above and predicated that it would get there within less than a year, and it did.

Ryan Brinkman, J.P. Morgan, Consumer Cyclical Tesla (TSLA).

Winner of the AnaChart Big Short awards for 2022. Through 2019 and into 2022, the analyst’s opinion of Tesla remained unchanged. Last year his forecast was proved correct as Tesla lost over two-thirds of its market value last year, meeting his valuation.

Ann Hynes, Mizuho, Healthcare – Molina Healthcare (MOH).
