Yet another benefit to indexing

Seems that stock ratings can be "bought". So, in yet another domain, always do your own research and homework.

Hey, analyst. I’ll trade you a club membership for a good rating. - FinancialWeek

Whatsa problem? If it is good enough for Congress, why not BIG BUSINESS.

It is the American way to ~~bribe~~ lobby and influence.

I agree, indexing is the way.

I'm reading, "Wall Street Meat" by Andy Kessler. Andy worked as an analyst on Wall Street.

It's all about money and how they can line their own pockets.

The best bet is to tune out all the noise.
