All the three major stock indices on the Wall Street jumped over 1% on Friday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq rising around 2% on the last trading day of the week.
Wall Street analysts make new stock picks on a daily basis. Unfortunately for investors, not all analysts have particularly impressive track records at predicting market movements. Even when it comes to one single stock, analyst ratings and price targets can vary widely, leaving investors confused about which analyst's opinion to trust.
