By regulation, stock brokers must give analytic opinions to all investors at the same time. However, some do offer special services where they may offer securities information earlier to substantial clients.
Though the information may be disseminated to a group, rather than to individuals, the broker may still get into trouble with the SEC.
But then again, I find most analytical advice is not worth that much. What analysts get from a company is already so widely known and relatively insignificant, it makes little worthwhile difference for choosing securities or not.
Analysts have no real knowledge of what actually goes on in any company from the outside, despite all their pompous discourse about corporate activity.
That is why I always suggest the purchase of unmanaged, index mutual funds or exchange traded funds (ETFs).
