An interesting link with topic "Advise on Taking Advise" is at investorguide.com Much of this "analyst bash" results from their jargon of "buy", "hold", "outperform", which really is just a bunch of euphemisms created because of their conflict of interest inherent in doing their jobs( they need a relationship with the company, their decisions can generate trading profits and the fact that their employer may be in investment banking business where the company they cover is a client). That does not mean all of them act on the conflict of interest. Like anything else some are probably worse than others.
