Mike,

I have a hunch reading the WSJ is too mainstream for a guy who does his own handicapping, but I noticed a table in the Thursday May 7th Money and Investing Section that rated brokerage house stock picks over a year and over five years. Interesting was that although Goldman does a lot more offerings that others, the company ranked at the bottom of gains on recommended holdings, underperforming the S&P. I might conclude from this chart that Pain and Warts do their homework better or are a more independent team. I remember your mentioning you had a higher opinion of certain equity analysts,so how about rating the teams? I'd like to see a rating on short picks!
