Ken Kam is the CEO of Marketocracy.com. Ken believes that Wall Street analysts really don’t know a lot about the companies they cover. Warren Buffett likes to say that in the short term, the market is a voting machine. If the people who have the most votes (because their opinions drive billions of dollars of capital) are not the most knowledgeable about the company, how can a stock’s price end up being priced exactly right all the time? Ken also asks, “Our financial future depends on the investing skills of the people you choose to help you manage your money…Do you have the right people?
