Who needs another ranking of Wall Street analysts? TheStreet.com thinks that individual investors do. Their goal is to provide ordinary investors with a ranking of analysts based on who will actually help them make the most money. That's why their rankings take into account both the opinions of key institutional investors as well as objective data on stock-picking performance. Theirs is the first ranking methodology to include both in one overall rank. (source: theStreet) http://www.thestreet.com/markets/analystrankings/965287.html |

Regulation FD is intended to insure that all investors have equal access to company information (thus removing the privileged access some analysts have traditionally had to insider information). But it's not easy to figure out exactly how Reg. FD will affect investing entities – so here's a cheat-sheet on the subject.

The relationship between companies and financial analysts is fraught with potential conflicts of interest; often analysts will go easy on companies that allow them access to information prior to its public release. New SEC fair disclosure laws go into effect today to alleviate the problem. This article takes a look at how the new regs are already affecting company-analyst relationships.

The article below is relevant not because this kid is a good stock picker (he's not), but because it's a warning to anyone who blindly listens to those who claim to be good stock pickers without evidence to back it up. |

When Yahoo announced that 40% of its ad revenue came from pure-play internet companies, it was a source of concern, but not a terrible surprise. The question is: Why didn't any of the analysts covering th company ask sooner? (source: Yahoo) http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/001018/n1788570_2.html |

Buy at 70, sell at 10 - is that any way to become an Internet millionaire? It is if you’re a "star" stock analyst covering the Web sector (witness some unnamed analysts' coverage of Priceline.com). For brokerages attached to large investment banks, pumping up stocks is big business, and their analysts do the dirty work by touting the stock just about anywhere they can get exposure. Pity the poor investor who takes their advice. (source: MSNBC) http://www.msnbc.com/news/472643.asp More than a million US investors get their advice from fee-based newsletters, many of which are worthless. But some of the best newsletter portfolios actually manage to outperform the market. Here are a few that may be worth your time (and your money).

This is a tale of Wall Street that would be funny if it weren't so sad and typical. It's the story of Salomon Smith Barney analyst Tim Albright and his touting of e-commerce company priceline.com to the bitter end. It could just as well be about dozens of other analysts and well-known firms of the day. http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/markets/brettfromson/1114343.html Those of you who read Tomments #2 back in April saved a lot of money by not listening to this analyst. http://www.investorguide.com/tomments2.htm |

In this multi-page article, the author takes a look at why so many analysts jumped on the downgrade bandwagon following Intel's earnings warning (with more than a hint of skepticism). (source: Upside.com) http://www.upside.com/texis/mvm/opinion/story?id=39cfc14d0 As the end of the summer quarter approaches, professional money managers will begin to dump their under-performing stocks to mask any mistakes they may have made (known as window-dressing). This will drive oversold stocks even lower, potentially opening up some very good buys. (source: Money.com) http://www.money.com/money/depts/investing/sivy/index.html |

With all the new information easily accessible to investors, there's at least one source that should be watched with caution: sell-side analysts' recommendations. That's because their main function is exactly what their name implies – to sell a stock. (source: Redherring.com) http://www.redherring.com/investor/2000/0914/inv-pc091400.html |
