Author: GLG Member Program Contributor
Among the complaints in the aftermath of the Enron scandals was that the analysts had continued to recommend this and other stocks that cratered, and that recommendations were given in code, so maybe Market Perform really meant Sell, and Hold might mean Sell Short, except that analysts would hardly...
