- editor's comments:- there are very few
analysts that go
deeply into the subject area they write about - and walk the mileage they
record on the time clock.
Many large analyst reports are in my view
superficial, have an abysmal track record of predictions (compared to outcomes)

exception. You learn stuff you didn't know before. And 5 years later - when
you compare their predictions with what happened - you haven't been burned. |
