One thing to keep in mind
The analyst's employer, Morgan Stanley, just
had to sell 21% of itself to get needed cash. In
other words, they f--ked up bigtime.

Other Wall Street "genius" firms include
bankrupt Lehman and forced sale Merrill Lynch.

Back in the days of the Dot Com surge, these
"geniuses" were all telling people that these new
companies were going to dominate everything.
90% of the Dot Coms, became Dot Bombs.
People lost a fortune listening to these Wall St.
"geniuses".

In most cases you can tape the stock results
pages of the Wall St. Journal or NY Times to the
wall and throw darts to pick stocks. Your
results will usually be about as accurate as
basing your purchases on the "genius" analysts
at the "genius" Wall St. firms.
