TLC,

These guys are paid serious money to do this kind of work, and they earn their money. Most of them are really good at what they do as far as research is concerned. They look in every crack and crevice for information, and I find their information quite valuable. If the analyst is respected, I pay attention. I guess another way to say it is: I look, but I look for what makes sense to me, not necessarily what makes sense to the analyst.

I have found recently that it is now very necessary to pay attention to which analyst is making what recommendation (especially "BUY" or "STRONG BUY"). The problem is particularly acute in NASDAQ stocks where the analyst works for a firm that makes a market in the stock that s/he is recommending. In my opinion, under these circumstances, the analyst's report should be reviewed with a skeptical eye.
