Ice, great joke! I found a story about accessing SEC
documents that says...

Although research analysts spend a substantial portion of
their time boning up on industry data and other scuttlebutt,
they inevitably have to come back to the information
provided by the companies themselves before forming
their opinions about the stocks they are studying. The
reality, not surprisingly, is about two-thirds of all
recommendations end up as buys
, a third become holds,
and only 1 percent are labeled as sells.

That's absurd! Two thirds of all stocks analysts deal with
can't possible be all worth buying.
