Schwab co-CEO Blasts Wall Street Stock Research
from the marketing-reports dept
It seems that everyone is having fun blasting Wall Street these days - even folks who make their living there. Charles Schwab's co-CEO, David Pottruck, said that research reports would have been better off labeled as "marketing reports". He says that companies used brokers and analysts as a distribution channel for their product - which was equity. He also doesn't see it getting any better in the near term.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
