No, I'm not a professional analyst and I have never participated live in a conference call... But, I find them very interesting to listen to. After a short learning curve, you can decern a lot from the tone of the call, especially during the question and answer session... I also recommend reading 10-K's etc (especially the "Risks" section)... An opportunity to read a current prospectus is very enlightening... I am amazed at what a company will divulge in these reports, probably to counter potential lawsuits.
