Some investors put their financial livelihoods in the hands of analysts researching their relevant stocks. Upgrades and downgrades determine how they play their portfolios — when to sell, when to buy, when to hold.
Some analysts have better foresight than others do, though, and their assessments carry a bit more weight.
