Unfortunately, investars.com "analysis of Wall Street research recommendations" is rather flawed. There is a couple of objections:

1. It is unclear whether investor would "buy on every upgrade and sell on each downgrade". In fact, this is not clearly defined: what do you sell if analyst downgrades two times? Do you sell short? Or did you sell half in the first time? What would you do with money that appears in between upgrades-downgrades? Wait for upgrade? Why? Isn't a "strong buy" a recommendation to buy constantly until no money is left?

2. Taking "entire universe of stocks" is also rather doubtful. Retail sector analyst cannot make a recommendation: "Go buy tech!" if all retail stocks are expected to do worse than tech. However he may find the best value in retail.

Jurgis - Let's nitpick

<<<Investars.com launched a new investment Web site last week with a fascinating analysis of Wall Street research recommendations>>>

So, what would happen if we sold on every upgrade and bought on every downgrade? <evil grin>
