RBS Predicts Global Market Crash: What's In It for Them?

What's in it for them? It's a sad commentary (albeit, not without justification) that journalists assume that any prediction by an analyst is driven by the ulterior motives (of the institution, no less -- what's in it for RBS?) and not the actual beliefs of the individual analyst/strategist. I'm as skeptical as anyone on analysts' abilities and the usefulness of their recommendations, but surely you must believe that there are at least some analysts that actual call it like they see it?
