Schwab co-CEO Blasts Wall Street Stock Research

from the marketing-reports dept

It seems that everyone is having fun blasting Wall Street these days - even folks who make their living there. Charles Schwab's co-CEO, David Pottruck, said that research reports would have been better off labeled as "marketing reports". He says that companies used brokers and analysts as a distribution channel for their product - which was equity. He also doesn't see it getting any better in the near term.

    Who called this downturn a lasting new era?
    Who laughed at all those people calling a recovery? Nothing of the sort, we are headed for a brick wall that has been thrown off a cliff. You area hearing it here, again, from me, SB
