Hi there John....it's not necessarily being cynical. It's recognizing the ANALysts for what they are....out for their own self interests. No mystery there. Unfortunately, the majority of the market follows their recommendations. Personally, I have learned, and Ken has taught me to do my own research. Of course it's OK to bounce stuff off of the amigo chat board LOL. At any rate, I kinda equate analyst opinion to that "sure win" stock that a friend of a friend tells you about. My first trade before I learned anything, and I mean anything about trading came from a recommendation of a 'friend". Go buy MCk, he said, its at 30 right now and it will go to 90. Duh, "ok" I said, as I later watched my investment go to 22. As Beavis would say "Way to go Butthead!" I learned, and trust me, everytime I read something or look at a chart, I learn some more...I guess that's why I can't stop trading, I am hooked. I suppose it's the challenge I sometimes don't get at work...Ok, enough rambling....are you a fan of James Bond or something? hahaha George A. ps., anyone seen "Enemy at the Gates" yet? Any good?
