"Too many analysts have become much too comfy with being spoon-fed.
Too many analysts don't even understand or get correct what it is they have been spoon-fed.

Too many analysts do not want to do homework, known in other professions as working for a living.
Too many analysts don't know how to do homework."

A clear case of "too many analysts shoot their months off like the characters on WWF"!

Every industry, every position level has its incompetent incumbents.

Don't be silly. They wouldn't be showing them on CNBC every day if they weren't good.

ellen, part of the problem is that fundamentals haven't driven these stocks to these levels. i remember a qcom analyst that changed his target 3 or 4 times in 2 weeks b/c his year out target was surpassed so quickly. eventually, he just said "it's a buy, i have no target."

growth rates have been slowing tremendously while multiples have been exploding (until recently).

a long time ago i asked why no good analysis was available. the answer is that good analysis CAN'T exist in a bubble market, by its very definition! to those with eyes, this is a bubble market. to those w/o eyes, history and a small net worth will have shown this to be a bubble.

it is better to end up wrong by going w/ the crowd than to risk going against the crowd - even if that is how you believe. that is the wall street empty suit mantra. anyway, their time is preoccupied spending all their bubble money.

>>>. And the poor unsuspecting public hasn't caught on to that, even now<<<

True. However, the financial networks are beginning to point this out. I applaud them on their efforts for once. Analysts are dinosaurs soon to be extinct.

Ellen--And this is without even taking into account the institutional conflicts that analysts are subject to. Who gives a hang about retail brokerage when the real money is to be made in the investment banking side of the house? And we wouldn't want to upset that investment banking client by giving a sell recommendation on their stock, now would we?
