Wallace:

> By and large, analysts are almost always behind the curve:

Actually I think they are way ahead of the curve. It is just that because of their con-artist behavior and naive small investors who listen to them they just appear (like a wolf disguised as a sheep) as a bunch of idiots being behind the curve.

Their hold/underperform rating on a stock really means: We a have a couple of big shot clients who badly want to get their hands on this stock., and their buy/strong buy usually means: Our big shot clients badly want to get out of this stock!. Which kind of makes me not very happy seeing all these con-artists showing a good attitude toward SUNW! So that is why one has to always go by his/her own fundamental understanding of the company and also gut feeling (!), because listening to the analysts/con-artists means only one thing: you are at the mercy of their big shot multi billion dollar clients!

You state:
> There are only a brave few who are not biased by investment banking relationships who have the guts and smarts to upgrade at the bottom, and downgrade before the curve starts sloping downward.

Abby C. is perhaps the only analyst that I characterize as such. She is perhaps the most honest of them all.
