Grace, It was only when the market sold off that these little guys started screaming they were fleeced. How true, true, true... almost everyone I knew who was an analyst got the job straight out of college with little or no training and started out doing analysis on the kind of companies I like. Its where the houses started people out, before they knew anything. I didn't know that (about where analysts start out)... The only analyst I knew was a frequent poster here on SI prior to her untimely death a couple of years ago now. I really miss her. We used to spend Saturday nights exchanging PMs, commenting on various stocks and other analysts. I miss all of that now. KJC

Its where the houses started people out, before they knew anything. Former colleague of mine, PhD physics, went to work as an analyst. He knew nothing about the market and within 6 months he was issuing reports on the industry he was assigned to. Not necessarily a bad thing – assuming the report was a collaborative effort.
