I agree that i dont like telemarketers, and agree that the consistent phone calls are annoying, but they get those tips from the top down. The tips are formed by researchers and analysts, not necessarily the broker making the call, and so they wouldnt have access to this info on their own, that is indeed why they work. And to act on this information while also having clients is highly unethical, (i worked in the industry) and can get you fired. Some of the tips are actually really good, and others may not be. Its not a total bust every time.
But the annoying calls, blaahhh!!!
They call asking for Chris. Once I said I was Chris and they put me on hold for someone who was pushing stock. I told them they had the wrong Chris and to stop calling. They keep calling and asking for Chris.
