> What kind of an analyst is this?

The typical kind. The kind who is paid for generating commissions for the sales force. You don't do that by favoring a "buy and hold forever" strategy. You do that by making excuses for getting your brokers in and out of stocks repeatedly. It's especially easy to do in the rapidly-changing tech stocks.

No analyst is getting paid for making money FOR YOU. They get paid for making money for their employer. And frequently your interests are not the same as theirs.

It's unfortunate, but it's reality.

A buy and holder myself...
