Bob,

E-Trade has much the same thing. These "independent research providers" are computer-generated reports that rely on parameters like earnings, share price momentum, "quality ranking" (whatever that is).

There's little if any human input in these reports. I've looked at them a few times, if for no other reason than to feel sorry for people who trade on this information.

but Kaplan has a buy rating on them, so he at least isn't one of the 5 you are referring to

here is his report from a year ago, fwiw - he had a $25 target before the financing dilution when the price was $7.90
