The famed analyst and former head of Stovall/Twenty-First Advisers was laid off as market strategist as a part of wider job cuts, reports Reuters. He told the news service that he was cut for budgetary reasons in light of the shrinkage in activity and that he has formed Stovall Advisors. Stovall joined Prudential in 2000. It recently hired Ed Yardeni from Deutsche Banc Alex Brown to replace Greg Smith as its chief investment strategist.
