Dennis, And the New York hotshots always tell us that our "greatly respected research department" is one of our strongest selling points. They are right if we're selling to illiterates who have nobody reading to them. Which would make the analysts our prime target selling group. <g> Not to pat myself on the back so hard that I get a permanent crook in my arm, this feeds in totally to an article I wrote for "The Internet Financial Connection" several years back called "Beyond The Valley of the Dulls-Analysts." Sadly, all of those old articles have pisaddeared with the passage of time and the absence of storage on SI. This also correlates to the May 23 Wall Street Journal article, though the street in general did much better and we in particular did much worse in that article. I haven't figured out the difference in the stats. I would believe the Urinal more as it would seem that picks would not underperform the 500 by THAT much.
