Wall Street’s Poor Analytical Advice




    Little independent thought comes from Wall Street’s analytical ranks. What goes for research is primarily corporate reports.

Little is done on all-important strategy. Most analysts have no time for careful, insightful thought. Moreover, the investment community is incestuous, feeding on itself in a way which foments herd-like and impulsive instincts.

I have heard of and investigated comparable new-strategies for decades.There are no panaceas (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
