brief citing in my local rag. glassman's got the front page column 1 of each sunday's business section. he kicks it off with an unrelated short blurb called "inside scoop." fwiw:
The Inside Scoop
By James K. Glassman
Sunday, September 20, 1998
Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. (1-800-523-8425) is small, but over the past year it has whipped the 15 largest brokerage firms in one key category: the returns that its recommended stocks have achieved. LT was up 57 percent for the 12 months ending June 30, according to Zack's Investment Research, compared with 30 percent for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. The secret? "We are management obsessed," research director Barry Sahgal told me. Great companies have great chief executives.
The eclectic LT list: Bluegreen Corp. (BXG), time-share resorts; Candie's Inc. (CAND), shoes; Comverse Technology Inc. (CMVT), voice mail; Evergreen Resources Inc. (EVER), natural gas; Hot Topic Inc. (HOTT), music-related products; Imax Corp. (IMAXF), big-screen movies; and TMP Worldwide Inc. (TMPW), Internet advertising.
