So basically you help get the sheep positioned to be slaughtered? Sounds like a fun job!

Says the guy who is all over WPRT. Get in the barn my friend, they are getting the shears ready for you.

Very good, you've figured it out already.

I'm just curious as to what, in your mind, that explains.

Why you're "right" and I'm "wrong."

[slow99]

That explains it. I'd like to know which firm personally.

Yes, I am an equity analyst at an investment bank. I cover stocks in the telecom infrastructure and data networking industries. We forecast financials, establish price targets, and rate shares buy, hold, or sell. I am privy to a lot of non-public info so, of course, I'm restricted from any activity with those companies. I do not trade any shares in my coverage universe - it's difficult to maintain independence and objectivity when you own the stock you're publishing a report about imo. Further, any trades or assets I own are reported to and reviewed by compliance and the regulatory bodies.

So your work is limited to a specific segment of the market, that makes sense. I was thinking you worked in a more broad spectrum and you couldn't trade at all. I figured I was missing something because that just wasn't adding up.

Interesting, thanks man.

[slow99]

Hey slow99 I don't know exactly what you do but from what I gather you work for a company that analyzes companies/stocks and rates their performance (or something close to that).

Given what you do are there any restrictions for you to invest personally? Just curious.

Yeah, about $500 net after fees. I just wish it was real and I could duplicate what I did in the actual market.

[slow99]

I'd appreciate it. I hate people stealing my thunder.
Congrats!

If you owned it in October, you did make some $.

[SVT Lurch]

Sweet, I'll stop calling all the pensions and hedgies about the piece I put out this morning then.

[slow99]

It's because I made fake money off of it back in October. You're welcome.
