Bob, if you haven't noticed, I have little respect for analysts. If they were to tell me it was 10:15 am, I'd still have to check my watch. Soundview is no better than the rest, IMO. I feel the value of analysts to the Individual Investor is much the same as those guys that travel the country selling roofing, paving and siding jobs to the elderly. . . charging them $50,000 for a job that could be done for a fraction the cost. . . lying, cheating, stealing. . . anything goes, so long as they can make a quick buck. The fact that certain journalists pump the analysts latest "reports" is nearly as bad. Sorry if this view offends some. I call them as I see them. Anything less would have no value.
