Typical broker's recommendations listing - Mark Ludlow From the CPQ Thread :) A. Recommended list - this list is given out to only to the most influential clients ( accounts of 10 million or more ) In addition, you are given advanced notice when the analicrooks, ah, analysis's are going to change a recommendation so you can sell, short or go long ahead of the recommendation ( like the brokers do ) You will know the proper action because the actual announcement will say ( "Our recommended list" ). The comments in parentheses are the actual thoughts 1. Extreme Buy - (sell your mama to buy) 2. Strong Buy - (sell the kids to buy) 3. Buy - (sell your wife to buy) 4. Hold - (this baby is falling but you are stuck, so hold it) 5. Sell - (this baby has no hope) B. Regular Schmuck's list - this list is given to any warm body, except the most influential clients. 1. Really, really strong buy - ( sell every share, bad news is coming ) 2. Really strong buy - ( we have been selling ) 3. Strong Buy - ( we are shorting ) 4. Buy ( time to take profits ) 5. Hold ( accumulate ) 6. Sell ( sell your mama to buy ) All of the above have these time periods : really short term, short term, intermediate term, long term, really long term, really-really long term, and your lifetime time. Apologies to any brokers on the thread. NOT.
