2maclean, re: An analyst who made a practice of tipping his hand to a favored few before the meeting of the committee would not endear himself to the less favored salespeople, whose analysts' ratings played a major role in analysts' compensation. In recent years, high profile analysts have joined up knowing what they were going to make before day one. The salespeople and bankers would tend to have less influence during the term of the guaranteed period, but an analyst might want to appear cooperative in seeking a followup contract. Tipping also carries the danger that a proposed ratings change will be disallowed by an investment committee or because of a pending undisclosed banking transaction.
