I once worked for a guy who had been a REIT analyst. He seldom had a bad word to say about the REIT's and later became a President at one of the companies listed above. He knew next-to-nothing about the shopping center business, but made a fortune as an executive at a major REIT. He moved on from there when another big REIT gave him more money and authority.
I'm a daytrader and I don't pay much attention to fundamentals, but for a long term investment, analyst opinions are vitually worthless IMO. They usually know little about the business and avoid saying anything negative for political reasons.
