Son of a bitch increased my cost of doing business significantly. Had to purchase some puts and sold half of my stock before earnings.

He better hope that I never encounter him on the street.

Should have been answerable to the SEC for that stunt.

Wonder how much AmTech made on the shorts and puts on that deal-eo.

You know Orky, that's a GREAT IDEA! There should be some sort of official rating system on the performance, and/or accuracy of their predictions. I have access to a tool in my Fidelity account when I research stocks that gives some information on their accuracy. But it isn't comprehensive.

I enter the ticker and select the "Analysts Opinions" tab and I get a table of various analysts that they have data on. And there's an accuracy rating table.

Interestingly, Ativo Research is rated as most accurate with a 96 rating. But it is dated, as their last report was a downgrade made in January.

I'll check to see if there is such a thing. Seems someone would have thought of this before?

We need to set up an "analysts' analysis" and ... "analysts' rating" and make it public ... I am serious.
