A disclaimer: These reports are posted as examples of my work. Anyone looking at them should bear in mind that a) many--perhaps all--are out of date and hence not to be relied upon; and b) some of them weren't good calls to begin with. Naturally, the firms at which these reports were written may have other opinions on their shares at the current time.
