AMZN <---anlalyst got a job without telling them who he was...BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They musy have known who he is....doesnt every job application ask for prior employers or current affiliations??? HE either lied or omiited it and they knew why..otherwise why hire the bum ! SFB analyst goes undercover at Amazon.com An analyst's job has gotten a lot harder since the Securities and Exchange Commission full disclosure rule came into play. Just ask Jamie Kiggen at Credit Suisse First Boston. In what may be the best example to date of how Reg FD has changed the relationship between analysts and the companies they cover, Kiggen recently went undercover at an Amazon.com (AMZN: news, msgs) warehouse. In a research note to clients Friday, Kiggen reiterated a "buy" rating on the online retailer's stock after spending several days "picking stock" from Amazon's Delaware distribution center warehouse shelves and assembling orders. Kiggen said he was hired as a result of a standard job application process, without the company's involvement. As part of Reg FD, public companies can no longer give analysts first dibs at material information. So now they are left to scrounge for information like the rest of the public.
