  • Also, it does not take at face value any broker opinions or brokerage house research: neither fresh, bullish-sales biased, investment-banking compromised, buy/sell/hold recommendations with occasional self-contradictions and internal inconsistency for presentation to the larger institutional customers, nor stale versions of these same recommendations repackaged for smaller individual customers. 


  • Most importantly, no forecasts: neither those for official public consumption, nor the private "whispered" versions shared among colleagues. 
In short, no distractions, just the relevant facts. This, of course, does not greatly increase the demand for such information services.
