Z.O: I am always amazed how easily markets are moved. In the case of the NYSE and S&P 500 , nearly 80% of these stocks are owned by Institutions who have their own Analyst. The remaining 20% of these stocks are held by the small Investor.

To cater to these Investors, we have near 30 Brokerage Firms that put out a recommendation atleast once a year if not more. In the case of high Beta stocks, the frequency may be higher. These recommendations are meant to actuate the fear and greed enzymes of the Investor. To this extent in the near term they are highly successful.

As a rule their long range forecasts are not accurate. Further, when a stock is under a selling climax there is a deadly silence amongst the Analysts. The record of NN's stock price is proof of the ability of NN's management to weather a few storms due to missed earnings.

In brief if you are not a trader, use ear Muffs to screen out the unwanted noise. However, if you are a trader, be thankful to those
movers and shakers.
