Sell-side analyst ratings are like that white goop that used car lots have on the windshields of the lemons they are trying to push on unsuspecting buyers - GREAT DEAL! $3000 OFF TODAY ONLY! MINT CONDITION! Sell-side prostitutes (I agree with Druss' characterization) have no responsibility for what they say. They don't have to buy the shares they recommend themselves. And as long as their calls generate trading actviity for the firm, no one grades them on whether they are right. I get a weekly Robbie Stephens report on Web stocks. The way they have touted worthless POS dot.com's is a disgrace. Never any discussion about which might be vulnerable to a pullback. No talk about which have business models to last more than six months. Just XXYZ reported $1.8 million in revenue, a 30% jump over our estimates, yada, yada, yada. If analysts were any good you would have seen a ton of sell recommendations a month ago. But all they do is use the code word for general allocations. Drop stocks from 70% to 65% means get out now because we think a correction is coming. It looks like a scummy way to make a living.
