"...real research."???
Yeah, right:
"Current Recommendation Neutral
Prior Recommendation Neutral
Date of Last Change 06/28/2011"
On that date of "last change," CTTC was $1.65, which means it's lost about 90% since Zacks became "neutral"! I hate to think what it would take for them to become negative!
Oh, wait! I bet if CTTC stopped paying them:
"Zacks SCR has received compensation for non-investment banking services on the Small-Cap Universe, and expects to receive additional compensation for non-investment banking services on the Small-Cap Universe, paid by issuers of securities covered by Zacks SCR Analysts. Non-investment banking services include investor relations services and software, financial database analysis, advertising services, brokerage services, advisory services, equity research, investment management, non-deal road shows, and attendance fees for conferences sponsored or co-sponsored by Zacks SCR. The fees for these services vary on a per client basis and are subject to the number of services contracted. Fees typically range between ten thousand and fifty thousand USD per annum."
Geez! What a racket!
