The Analysts’ Couch

By Paula Bernier (News - Alert)

Happy January! Since the last issue of NGN came out, we've celebrated the opening of another year.

So, as part of this marking of time, I thought it might be fun to talk to some of our analyst friends about where we've been and where we're going. As part of this exercise, I provided a word and asked each of them to say the first word or phrase that popped into each of their heads. Here are some of the responses:
