analysts and predictions - accountability

Is there no regulation re: holding analysts accountable for seducing people into buying stocks based on crappy predictions?

Surely analysts can't hide behind excuses especially given the flout expertise.

An expert is supposed to take into consideration the WHOLE of market conditions including potential downside scenarios before making outlandish forecasts.

Point in question - Resolute @ $1.40. Currently flowdering at sub $0.40.
So what - $1.40 in 10 years??
