Analyst Recommendations?

"CIBC World Markets said on Friday that it is cutting its rating on Guilford from strong buy to hold"

This Friday's Business Week: "Analyst Matt Geller of CIBC World Markets is impressed by Guilford's neurological compounds. ''They have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of neurological disorders,'' says Geller, who rates the stock a ''strong buy.''

I am really happy that I follow my own counsel on stock selections and rely on intelligent friends rather than analysts. I make many mistakes, some of them pretty dumb, but following analysts recommendations would have cost me a lot more money than my own mistakes. I continue to be amazed when companies receive downgrades at the same time that meaningful good news has been released.

Maybe the SEC should require more meaningful disclosure rules for analysts so that the viewing public could see their firms historical trading activity (after a reasonable timeframe) and compare it to their public buy/hold/sell recommendations. Oops, I forgot, there were only a few hundred sell recommendations last year compared with the thousands of buys and holds. Have a good weekend.
