Glenn, Thank you for responding in a civil manner to my emotion-driven post. I hope you are aware that I was berating the ludicrous nature of Mr. Benjamin's methodology and not you for having posted it; it appears you understood my intentions. PblcSrvnt, Your intentions were quite clear and your explanation I thought extremely well articulated. I wish I could articulate so well. I have in the past had email exchanges with analysts from various firms regarding various companies. There are a few good analysts in my opinion that make projection based on as much information as they can obtain. The problem is this is less than 1%. It is difficult to know which ones may be accurate without going back and seeing a multiyear track record. I am bothered a lot by the CFA analysts. Their code of ethics does not permit hyping yet many do. Benjamine is a prime example. He states he is a CFA. Glenn
