A humble question: what is the distinction between a "buy side" and "sell side" analyst?

Queasiness overcame me this AM and I lightened up my net stock position. Everwhere I look I see people expecting earnings driven runup for net stocks (not only GNET, of course). This is keeping a significant number of people in net stocks. What I am worried about is that overall market swoons in early July, which will negate much of positive internet news- in a bear climate, good news can be ignored, for no logical reason. If earnings run up does not materialize, then momentum players exit, and bad news arrives.

I am certainly not sure if this will happen, but I am risk averse at present that I am willing to act on this scenario. I have not been investing long enough to have a good "feel" for the plausibility of this scenario- any gray-haired wise owls care to comment?
