Sonki, My suggestion for making it useful is based on the following considerations. -I don't expect fundamental analysts to be right often (or for that matter it would not bother me even if they were never right). -THere are too many analysts+brokerage houses to track, so it would help to list the real good ones and real bad ones and not bother with the mediocre ones. -We need to find a criteria to differentiate real good and real bad analysts and in many cases it comes out quite clearly and folks on SI can suggest cases based on their experience. for example, Prudential folks have been consistently bad and have recommended overhyped stocks like AOL in the current environment plus have other horror stories. My experience is similar with UBS, and Furman Selz (who recommended ASND as strong buy when everyone was downgrading them after they filed 8K and before the earnings and now recently recommended AOL). I think it would be useful to know the ones who try to manipulate the stock and the honest ones who make a convincing case. We can keep a running list of such folks for ready ref so that when anything comes out of them we know how to interpret it.
