I think most of the people on this list are probably a fairly select group of investors 
that mostly know what they are doing, most of the time, and are ignoring upgrades 
and downgrades and know enough not to go down with the ship when a stock starts 
heading south.  But I think we've all seen stories about investors who have lost huge 
percentages of their retirement funds in the last year or two.  So someone is still 
listening to the mostly useless information being spewed forth on a daily basis by 
the brokerages.  I guess its for those people that I get a little angry at the 
brokerages.  For the more informed investor, you are correct, that stuff doesn't even 
get into the decision making process, its not even a tiny blip on the investing radar 
screen.
