...Securities Research analysts have come under the FIERCEST CRITICISM. The Charge: that their perpetually rosy stock recommendations and deliberately misguided BUY ratings not merely allowed BUT ENCOURAGED their clients to stay too long at the fair.... they helped perpetuate a mania that fueled its own demise.

This is what we have said last September and at this time I do think with the earnings warnings season coming up we take a deep and penetrating look at the tech stocks that we enjoyed these last 1-2 months and consider maybe our short term investments (1-2 months) should be directed to the companies that actually HAVE THE EARNINGS and NOT JUST the ANALYSTS "stamp of approval". We will definitely be ANALYZING and WEIGHING the companies in the next 6 to 7 weeks ON THIS THREAD that have the best chance for cumulative gains based on REAL earnings sequential growth, and be ready that most of them MIGHT NOT BE IN THE TECH SECTOR at all. In fact we will need to polish and prep our shorting hats to get ready for some companies that will fail in quarter two and not deliver hopes for recovery.

...its time for Wall Street to take a fresh look at the role of investment research, and to replace a dysfunctional system with one that renders the best possible investment advice UNTAINTED BY COMPETING CONCERNS, such as analysts' commitments to help their firms WIN LUCRATIVE BANKING ASSIGNMENTS.
