Steve, You have an interesting theory. The value of the research reports only depends on how many people believe in them. Unfortunately too many people will do whatever the analysts recommands. I was wondering has anyone done any research on one particular analyst's recommandations? I know there were general studies on recommandations issued by underwriters, and the conclusion is not pretty. So far no one has compiled a list on the performance of individual analysts, or even brokerage firms to my knowledge. Maybe we can set up an "individual investor's award" to the analyst whose recommandations people follow would lose most money. Charlie
