in general ignore what analysts say... by the time they say something useful the whole market already knows about it. again, analyst only get paid for writing a report like that. those kind of releases are worthless. analysts who work internally for stockpickers (say, for mutual funds) or traders (say for hedge funds) do not release statements like those.
well, as far as i know anyway. i have some friends who work on wall street and have talked to recruiters about different kind of analysts and that's the impression i get.
but common sense says i'm spot on. look, we HOPE analysts are wrong! that means the market as a whole will not perform as well as our picks, which means we get to get in cheap, which is the whole point.
some stocks are "priced to perfection"; the blue chips like intel, microsoft, sony are likely among them. nintendo might have a huge market cap, but like apple and google, people consistently misunderstand their businesses.
the Wii is an epidemic.
