Journalist Tracey John and analyst Michael Pachter guest star in The Escapist feature, The Crystal Ball of Michael Pachter. No matter what you think of the outspoken Wedbush Morgan video game analyst, this interview / feature from Tracey John sheds some light on what Pachter does on any given weekday and how he manipulates the media to promote himself.
Here is the part where he shows his humility and admits that he uses the press:
"Investors should [listen to me] because I'm really good, but look, I use the press," he admitted when I asked why we should listen to him. "It's a symbiotic relationship. I try to give you guys what you need, and I use the press to promote myself so that more investors want to talk to me. That helps me get paid more money."
Whether you love or hate the guy, it's a fascinating read. Check out the rest here.
