Sadly it seems as if it is not a question of shame or not at Barrons, there is a function which Bear-ons is designed to serve and a clientel - the bears. Specific stocks are chosen for a hit by the Barrons hit men and the bears then ride the resulting downdraft. The sad part is that it works. Barrons may not "move markets" exactly but it often does move stocks - down - so they can make money for the shorts and even create "buying opportunities" for the bulls. A great success story for the big boys. I used to think that understanding what Barrons was about would make it OK to use it as a source for factual info at least but gave that up long ago. Facts are much more easily available on the net and specifically in places like SI. As for "opinion" that is so slanted as to be worthless IMO. But again this is based only on my experience and opinion. :-) Chaz PS And admit that I long since gave up trying to time the market or trade so whatever value Barrons might have is irrelevant for me.
