Ed, I have no problem in blaming an analyst for my losses, when my buy /
sell / hold decision was based in part on his forecasts, AND when he
published a report he knew was blatantly false. I don't care so much why it
was false, just that he put his honesty and credibility on the line
knowingly.

On the other hand, if I rode a stock like Enron from 80 down to 10, heck,
even to 30 or 40, then I have no one to blame but myself for not knowing
enough to read a chart, do my own independent research, lack of due
diligence, lack of selling rules and discipline, etc.

Not to get too far off the task at hand, but this is peanuts for these
firms.  I believe there will be many more lawsuits, most likely class
action against these firms.  The government fills its coffers, the
larger firms admit no wrongdoing and it's back to business.  It makes
great headlines but does little else.  Blaming investment losses on
analysts is the equivalent of blaming your gas pedal for a speeding
ticket.  Major pension funds, insurance companies and other endowments
followed Wall Street analysts and they are one angry crowd.  The heady
days are over for now, but don't fret they'll be back, just like Haley's
Comet.

Wall St Firms May Face $500 Million Fines

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Regulators are telling Wall Street firms that they
face
fines as high as $500 million in order to resolve analyst conflict of
interest probes, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.

Regulators expect to tell Citigroup (NYSE:C - news) that it will have to
pay
$500 million to end a probe into whether its analysts misled investors
with
tainted research in order to please investment banking clients, the
source
said.

Regulators have told Credit Suisse First Boston that it will have to pay
$250
million to settle the probes. Bear Stearns Cos. Inc. (NYSE:BSC - news),
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS - news), J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
(NYSE:JPM
- - news), and UBS Warburg are to be told or have been told that will have
to
pay $75 million each, the source said. Regulators will tell Thomas
Weisel
Partners that it must pay $60 million and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MWD -
news)
that it must pay $50 million, the source said.

Regulators will not require Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. (NYSE:MER - news)
to pay
any amounts in addition to the $100 million it has already agreed to pay
as
the result of a settlement with regulators earlier this year, the source

said.
