Sell Side Analysts: Sell side analysts work for investment banks and usually the name comes from selling research and buy side is buying research. Buy side people are fund/portfolio managers who do secondary research or broader macro level industry analysis as they have to look at wide range of cos/industry. Whereas sell side people look at one particular sector e.g. computer services and typically cover 5-7 cos. only and do more of a primary/indepth research. We also are evaluated based on our calls and feel lot of pressure to make right calls. That's the main distinction between sell side and buy side. Not to offend buy side, but very few of buy side analysts know the cos. inside out. -kalpesh

Hey Brooks, Did you know about this Bill Pay competitor: moneylineexpress.com Owned by TravelersExpress, if you search through the website, it shows a pie chart of market share (from February 97') for bill pay as follows: 52% CheckFree 30% moneyline 16% Citibank 2% other? I'm sure these numbers are outdated (Feb 97'), I would be interested in seeing an up to date pie chart. The website looks extremely outdated, but G&L bank is supposed to use moneyline for their bill pay. Does anyone have any additional info? micny? Benny
