99% upgrades.. analysts are such fuckers. Love when they boost target a buck. Did I mention they are idiots?
Read Confessions of a Wall Street analyst.
Illuminating
Yeah, illuminating. Exactly the reason why I don’t gamble in the casino called stock market. The big banks on Wall Street have access to more sophisticated information than joe investor. No sense competing with them. The big houses publish fake info and front-run and muppet everybody stupid and dumb. Really, if one wants to know how greedy bankers steal money from gullible joe sixpacks, this is the book to read. These so called analysts are just greedy thieves.
You’re right. Absolutely everyone is out to get you. Why even bother living?
I’ve got some real nice rope I’m willing to sell you.
Perhaps it would help if you read the book first before you open your fat pie-hole.
