How can you possibly call this great work, to insult a respected analyst, by someone without a background in technology? If this kind of abuse keeps on the large investment banks and brokerage houses will cut the small investors off from the information they now supply to us free.
Robertson, Stephens & Co is a respected investment banking firm with many large PAYING clients that rely on this firm to give them sound, detailed informative investment advice. this is an example:
"At RS&Co., we know that comprehensive research enables us to identify investment opportunities in our targeted industries to best position our corporate finance clients. It is our dedication to research that keeps us on the vanguard of developing trends. Since 1991, stocks recommended by RS&Co. analysts have outperformed their respective industry averages by more than 16 percent."
Mr. Johnson is a very respected analyst, held in high regard for his insight into this particular segment of the market. Is this a great bio?

Do you really think that this man could survive this long in this fast moving segment of the market and not be competent.
go to the Robertson,Stephenson page and read for yourself instead of reading a synopsis of his report. rsco.com
Of course only my opinion, but an irritated one.
Do not be surprised if Robertson, Stephenson stops all access to us shortly. |
