.....then when they started to learn the biz they were moved up to something more important. Very well put. And I hold lots of unloved small cap value plays that had a great run in April-May. Value is out there but you won't hear about it from analysts at all.

It looks like it's going to come down to a valuation factor and with a TTM PE over 200, the merits of the companies performance are going to be watched under a very careful microscope.

Grace, There are many fine analysts out there who have been doing it for years. But your point is well taken. If these people actually had a leg up and were that good, then one would think that they would then earn personal fortunes trading their own accounts as opposed to earning a nice salary as a pimp. And if they were successful, then they would have no time to put up with the corporate BS in the rat race. Nothing like being your own boss and earning a nice living. Isn't this everyone's dream?
