In the stock picking beauty pageants, JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM) has won a prize. Bloomberg reported:
JPMorgan, under Americas equity research head Noelle Grainger, scored the largest number of highly ranked analysts, making it the No. 1 firm in U.S. equities research.
Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) ranked second and Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) third. The award is one in a series of such rankings, the most visible of which is done by the Wall Street Journal. The problem with the reports is that none is based on the same set of criteria. That leaves readers of the reports with a scattered impression of which firms are really superior to others.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts
Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.
It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.
We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
