Re: Analyst Records Formalized Hi Aggie, <<<"...Wouldn't it be dandy to force these analysts to formalize their predictions in simple pear-shaped words and make that running record available (at the least) to all customers of that brokerage house, or better yet, to all of us poor saps in cyberspace. "An idle dream maybe, but it sure would serve like a mega dose of Prozac to these wild market rides. A little accountability can go a long ways. ...">>> Yes it would be a darned fine idea.

Perhaps there are a few who really know their stuff, but without a system such as you propose, how to find them in that herd of incompetents? Whenever I see one of these analysts on TV, the question always occurs to me: ---"If he can accurately predict the market, Why does he have to do this Song and Dance show?" regards, diana
