C-MACC Sunday Thematic & Weekly Recap 135

Living The Dream! Being A Sell-Side Analyst Used To Be Hard Work!

  • We finish our week of criticism of the sell-side with a knock-out blow to the head and question what investors are paying for and why – it’s certainly not research.
  • Paralysis in estimate revisions (until instructed by the corporate) suggests there is zero value in quality predictive research today – otherwise, it would exist.
  • It is possible to be right when you pay close attention to macro and industry fundamentals – no complex models are needed – C-MACC advice works.
  • We also question the value of some IR programs, especially where these have devolved into rewarding positive opinions with corporate access – very dangerous.
  • Otherwise, we look at the risks in Europe, Biofuels, and whether FedEx is right.

Last week we discussed 32 Chemicals and related products and 126 Companies.
