Bryan- Not to cause an argument or stray off topic, but I work closely with analysts and they are in no way compensated based on revenues generated. Mainly analysts are compensated by how well they hit their target numbers, but it depends on the firm. For example, some firms (like my former company, Nomura) penalize analysts for errors but reward for close-to-taget hits. Some firms may fire analysts for being way off base, like Merrill does. Honestly speaking, I'm not sure how Lehman (I've worked there too!) compensates their analysts, but I do know that revenues generated is not part of their comp packages. Again, I've read your posts and you're extremely knowledgeable in this area, but I just wanted to clear that up. mojo!
