Forbes: Top Stock Analysts of 2006

May 3, 2007 @ 12:36 am · Filed under Business

Forbes/Starmine are out with their list of the top stock brokerage analysts (sell-side) from last year. Also included is their “rare-bird” list of analysts who not only successfully picked stocks but also accurately predicted profits.

For those interested, Forbes has also gives a brief overview of their methodology used for shortlisting and selection.

Among the top pickers, Atlantic Equities’ Chris Hickey and Stanford Group’s Erik Olbeter have software and IT in their portfolio while Wachovia Securities’ Jennifer Fritzsche and Janco Partners’ Donna Jaegar have wireless and telecom in theirs.

Surprisingly, none of the top earnings estimators seem to have software or IT in their portfolio. However, there were two that looked at wireless and telecom — Stifel Nicolaus’ Christopher King and UBS’ John Hodulik.

And oh, I expect the Cydonian to be fully shocked (or pissed - take one) at one of the companies the pickers have listed.
