I am also honored to be part of the group of dis- tinguished scholars who have delivered lectures in this series. I was invited to speak about fiduciaries and, in particular, whether research analysts should be regulated as fiduciaries. Regulators, legislators, and the self regu- latory organizations—the New York Stock Exchange and the NASD—have been paying a lot of attention to analyst regulation.

  • How Much Are Your Eyeballs Worth? Placing a Value on a Website's Customers May Be the Best Way to Judge a Net Stock
    How Much Are Your Eyeballs Worth? Placing a value on a Website's customers may be the best way to judge a Net stock. It's not perfect, but on the Net, what is? By Erick Schonfeld February 21, 2000 (FORTUNE Magazine) – Internet CEOs crave many things: world domination, instant service in bistros, fawning media attention. But what they crave above all else is eyeballs. That's less ghoulish than it sounds. In Webspeak, you see, eyeballs mean customers. Since the typical dot- com lacks the one metric that Wall Street has traditionally used to evaluate companies (you remember--earnings) analysts and investors have contrived other ways to size up Net stocks. One now stands out: market capitalization per pair of eyeballs. It's a useful first step in explaining why a company garners a certain kind of valuation. For instance, a pair of eyeballs at Web portal Lycos, with a $7.4 billion market cap, has a value of just $244; at Schwab, which has a $30 billion market cap, a pair is worth $4,562 (ironically, this also happens to be around the price a pair of real human corneas reportedly commands on the black market). If the Internet market were rational, the market cap per eyeball would represent the total profit that you could reasonably expect a company to get from its average customer, adjusted for risk and the length of time before those profits are realized. Internet analysts are the first to admit that today's is not a rational market. So correlating the lifetime value of eyeballs to a fast-growing dot-com's stock price is not perfect science.

THE INEVITABILITY OF A STRONG SEC Robert A. Prenticet There are many visions for the future of securities regulation. One prominent view fratures significant private contractingfor disclosure and fraud protection. Another envisions regulatory competition, enabling compa- nies to choosefrom among a menu of regulatory regimes provided by different states, nations, or securities exchanges competing for incorporations or list- ings. This article demonstrates that these two regulatory regimes rely too heavily upon the reputationalconstraint, which is insufficient for the signifi- cant task of securities regulation. Tenets of behavioral psychology suggest that self-serving bias and other factors will too often cause managers to choose regulatory regimes that serve their own best interests rather than those of shareholders. Around the globe, most developed economies have rejected private con- tracting and regulatory competition in favor of emulating the United States' current strong-SEC model. An impressive body of transnationalempirical evidence supports the viewpoint that the strong-SEC regulatory model is sig- nificantly more effective than alternatives at promoting capital markets.

  • Security Analysts As Frame-Makers
    DRAFT SECURITY ANALYSTS AS FRAME-MAKERS Daniel Beunza Department of Economics and Business, Universitat Pompeu Fabra [email protected] and Raghu Garud Stern School of Business, New York University [email protected] January 5th, 2004 1 SECURITY ANALYSTS AS FRAME-MAKERS Daniel Beunza and Raghu Garud Abstract Security analysts offer a privileged entry point to study the construction of worth in markets characterized by Knightian uncertainty. Analysts have been portrayed as information-processors by neoclassic economists and as conformists by neo- institutional sociologists. Neither perspective can explain the value that institutional investors report they derive from analysts’ activities – access to industry knowledge and written reports – nor do they adequately address the difficulties associated with analyses in a situation of Knightian uncertainty, when new firm categories emerge. Departing from these perspectives, we conceive analysts as makers of calculative frames. Analysts calculate, but they do so within a framework. Similarly, analysts may appear to conform, but they also deviate from the pack to generate original perspectives on the value of a security, and, occasionally, displace prevailing frames. To explore the dynamics of creation, adoption and abandonment of calculative frames, we content-analyze the reports written by Henry Blodget on Amazon.com during the years of the Internet bubble, 1998-2001. We found that Blodget’s reports offered a new calculative frame that allowed investors to analyze firms such as Amazon.com in a context of Knightian uncertainty when no stable information or shared predictions about Amazon.com’s future existed. We explore the implications of our approach for an understanding of markets in general and analysis in particular during periods of Knightian uncertainty.

  • Capitol Spending Press Release
    News Release Texans for Public Justice ** 609 W. 18th Street, Suite E, ** Austin, TX 78701 For Immediate Release: Contact: Craig McDonald, Andrew Wheat August 8, 2003 PH: (512) 472-9770 Are Bush's Big Bankers Fixing To BBQ Eliot Spitzer? Carpetbagger 'Rangers' Could Be Gunning for Empire State Lawman. Austin, TX: As the East Coast bankers and financiers who dominate President Bush’s 2004 elite fundraising team jet toward Crawford, some probably would rather chuck New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer on the coals than the cattle that these Pioneers and Rangers will be served first. “Why would Big-Apple bankers travel 1,700 miles to nosh barbecue under a hot Texas sun?” asked Texans for Public Justice Director Craig McDonald. “Are they recruiting help for their showdown with New York’s top cop? Are the New York bankers who dominate Bush’s Pioneer and Ranger team paying tribute in hopes the Administration will help take Spitzer off the beat?” Hounded by Spitzer, top investment bankers--including new Bush Ranger Stanley O’Neal of Merrill Lynch and new Pioneer James Cayne of Bear Stearns--hosted Bush’s most lucrative fundraiser in New York in June. Then 18 financiers made their industry Bush’s No. 1 financial supporter last month when Bush disclosed the first 68 elite fundraisers of his reelection campaign. A Texans for Public Justice analysis reveals that the finance industry accounts for one-third of Bush’s 32 all-new Pioneers and Rangers who were not part of this elite team in 2000.
