Each day in the financial world is another step convincing me that I'm better off with a good asset allocation and investment strategy than going with stock picking ;-) TKO, you are hilarious as usual ;-)

Charles,
it’s a pleasure to see that you keep reading my blog and that you are going forward at school. Each day in the financial world is another step convincing me that I’m better off with a good asset allocation and investment strategy than going with stock picking ;-)

Pull A Number Out of One's Ass Just do the opposite of what he says, and you'll do fine. Some analysts and economists, cough *Jeff Rubin* cough,

Great post about analyst. There is a old saying that there are two kinds of analyst: 1. those who don't know that they don't know 2. those who knows that they don't know. Currently at school, I decided to join a team for the Global Research Investment Challenge by the CFA institute, where we have to write an analyst report on a company and give our prediction on the stock price and if it is a buy or sell. Seriously, I feel that no matter how much work we put, at the end we will all question ourselves about how the hell can we predict a stock future. Like you said, there are so many "unknowns" and analyst are afraid to admit it. I decided to join this challenge just to see how analyst work and think. It will be a good learning experience but at the end, I will come to the same conclusion as you...analyst are just humans and that they must come to the evidence that they don't know! hi there mike! its been a while but I haven’t stop reading your blog.
