tippet-- >>>Pure illusion my friend -- you are not any more in control than when you took the reccos of your full-service broker or simply bought a mutual fund...<<< Back in 1997 when I had some 25-40% gainers (which seem modest now given the mania) over 2-3 mos. time span (that I had discussed with him and he had recommended against) he admitted he didn't see it coming and didn't get it. I then moved the bulk of my account into my own hands. No hard feelings. He admitted I wasn't a typical client Full-service brokerages have issues they want to push to their "bag holder" clients (after the "wealthy" clients are already in) and inventories they want to liquidate. They only follow so many stocks. Research reports are few and far between (or were) on emerging technologies...Why pay the freight? >>>It has to do with the quality of the business information that the average guy can get -- 95% is crapola ...<<< A stock screen is a stock screen, a 10Q a 10Q, a chart a chart. It's all in what you do with them my friend.
