Dipy: You couldn't be more wrong. Any serious long-term investor who has followed Zacks Analyst Survey knows that there is no better long-term performer than Zacks. I assure you, that you cannot find a better long-term system where you can have a balanced portfolio and still make year over year returns that consistently outdistance the S&P. And the key to Zacks is analyst upgrades. The notion that analysts are simply there to mislead the small guy for the sake of their institutional customers is absolutely ludicrous, and has no basis in fact. Simply put, the higher the analyst upgrades, the better the stock performs. I don't care how much anecdotal information anyone on this thread can muster, the hard cold facts are that analyst upgrades are the best tip that a stock will soon outperform the market. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the semi business, it is much more difficult for an analyst to make perfectly timed calls. Notable in this respect was the shibboleth promoted on this thread that Tom Kurlak was a counter indicator. Yet over a two to three year period, his calls were superb. Only in the past six to nine months were his calls off the mark, and he paid for it with his job.
