Kag: Success in the market is about edge. Everyone can read the 10-k's, P.R's, charts, etc. There is no edge there whatsoever. One gets an edge in the market via:
1) rapport with management
2) industry contacts (ie in this case diagnostics, etc)
3) smart money contacts
Virtually every fund manager and institutional investor on the planet competes for face time with management. Hedge fund analysts are even taking behavioral analysis classes from CIA operatives so that they can better use the valuable face time with management to figure out if they are confident, honest, etc. You gotta be kidding me man...seriously. I knew you were a novice but this is a bit extreme. Go put your duntz cap on and give me 20.
