Top fundamental research firms like Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs and top quantitative firms like TheStreet.com Ratings, Columbine Capital and Ford Equity Research all track a large number of stocks. Looking at just one or two of their successes or failures can give you a myopic view that doesn't reflect their true performance. This report lets you see how each firm stacks up against the others according to the spread between their buy and sell ratings for all stocks covered by each firm across a selected date range.
Choose your desired performance benchmark from the drop-down list and then choose a time period. You can fine-tune your results by making selections from the other drop-down lists.
