Is this a buy or a sell? ReplyContrarian Indicator: Analyst Buy Ratings [view article]
Try "Low NUMBER of buy ratings," not low amount. Check Webster's Dictionary to learn how to differentiate amount from number. ReplyContrarian Indicator: Analyst Buy Ratings [view article]
This report is ridiculous. By the same methodology, they would have bought the losers on the way down, and at much higher prices than where they eventually bottommed out. ReplyValue in Auto Sector? [view article]

Just check the attendance at Sturgis, SD in August and the 105th anniv rally in WI this summer. If it is way down, then HD will continue to fall. If it is steady or up... HD will thrive. ReplyValue in Auto Sector? [view article]
The pre owned or used car market may be in pre heat conditons as the number of buyers with stained credit is increasing. These buyers are almost always steered toward the higher profit used vehicle as subprime lenders require large upfront fees for loan placement. Consider the skinnier profits in new vehicles, and in turn commission to sales person, even customers with excellent credit are finding themselves persuaded to drive home a used car.The problem at dealership level in used vehicles is maintaining attractive inventory....Carmax seems to have systemized and avoided this problem by offering national stocking and more aggresive advertising then other used car dealers.

It's fun to daytrade with Etrade. It's also fun to watch Cramer go ballist and make crazy statements like the $2.00 lottery ticket. Etrade has a lot of loyal clients, me included, because of the great trading platform. And it's also fun to read about such assinine strategies like the one in your column. I wonder if you invest the same way you write. ReplyContrarian Indicator: Analyst Buy Ratings [view article]
To all you naysayers . . .If the pundits and analyst had their say about the direction of the economy and the media propaganda, T-rexes would be roaming the earth will-nilly and what humans that were left would be scampering around with limbs bleeding due to fear alone.
Lighten up a bit, and you might make some money. This piece may be a far cry from the more positive recovery spins I would like to see coming out of the pundits and analsyts (has anyone ever noticed the presence of anal in analyst?). All I see is "the sky is falling, you are going to die". I am bored. At least this piece was humorous and gave me a break.
I even bought ETFC at $3.14. Right when everyone was screaming sell. Oh well, I guess I made the wrong decision there. I don't think they sell $3.14 lottery tickets, do they? Reply

...I sold out of my position in ETRADE in late '07 at a loss, because all the experts told me to. On 1-7-08, the stock traded at $2.07, and everyone including Jim Cramer ("I'd rather have a $2 lottery ticket than a share of ETRADE"), the CNBC resident geniuses ("Run from this stock as fast as you can!") . If you had done the opposite of what they told you to do, and put every penny you could beg, borrow, or steal into ETRADE on that very day, you could have sold it roughly 6 weeks later at $5.25, a 254% profit.That is an annualized profit of 2,209%. I haven't seen any of the stocks Jim Cramer or the other experts recommend to their followers reap 2,200% annual gain for them. I suspect there were none.
Point is, my limited experience in the market suggests to me that the contrarian approach is at least as good as following the analysts' advice. An even better would be to totally ignore them. Reply

This article is interesting. It may well work on the short term.But I find more interesting the reactions this article causes.

How creative... just when I thought people ran out of ideas to loose money faster. ReplyContrarian Indicator: Analyst Buy Ratings [view article]
In Las vegas I hold at 16, and in the market this year I hold my breath.When a stock drops 10% in a short period of time the analyists drop there rating.How smart is that,maybe now it's a buy.Just like vegas. Reply

This has been common knowledge for years - if everyone likes the stock, who's left to buy. Great strategy. ReplyContrarian Indicator: Analyst Buy Ratings [view article]
This is the most asinine report that I have heard to date considering the condition of the market. Do you think possibly that BUY ratings are still up on some of these stocks due to quality management, cash balances, earnings and other stupid little fundamentals? Like...everybody jump into KB Homes because the analysts don't have a buy rating on this stock! If you wait long till 2009, they may start selling homes again if they don't go bankrupt first. Where do you guys come up with this stuff? You are all loosing credibility very quickly!Reply

Geez. This is meaningless. Reasons for the analyst ratings are not taken into account. The most obvious reason why following this piece could blow up on you is that for stocks way up on the year, the reason for an analyst saying "sell" could be that they feel it is overbought! And on the other end, they could feel that for those way down on the year, they are a "buy" because they are oversold! C'mon...these "contrarian" charts are overly simplistic! Anyone who goes by these will get slaughtered! Reply
