Top WDR Bull/Bear Pitches

The best Bull and Bear pitches based on recency and number of recommendations.

ORAY817 (62.41)
Submitted April 11, 2007

One of the smaller of the big players on Wall Street has changed gears. Investment performance is solidly growing. Sales force retention is far above industry. Concept makes sense to clients and they don't go away.

WDR was made the scape goat by the polititians responsible for market oversight. It's like blaming the last car driving onto the bridge for its collapse! The press distorted cause and effect; the market over-reacted. Business model is very sound and profitable.
