I often think we should write these "analysts" thank-you notes. How else would we make so much money buying or trading the dips and looking so smart for holding for the long term with core positions? 8) Kirk out

At worst, the analcysts create new, unexpected buying opportunities for informed investors Above should be At best--at worst they hurt a lot of little guys too who should get a fairer shake. In a way they almost shout fire in a crowded theater of amateur investors. My point is that it appears to me that many times not only is there is no fire, there is not even a spark. And sometimes the firm they work for is standing outside the theater buying up the stock at lower prices for their client.
