yeah but you are stretching the metaphor beyond breaking point. Investment is hard. Show me anyone who gets everything right all the time, or any fund manager that always beats the market - I'll show you someone who is lying! Saying brokers often get it wrong is well, duh.
The point remains that some add value, some don't - and that the value they add isn't usually in their investment recommendations, but more often in parsing information as it relates to the stock they cover. If you ask a Ford salesman whether to buy a Ford or a Holden, he's going to sell you a Ford - but if you want information about what features a Mondeo has, he's probably going to have the answer. If you are looking for stock recommendations from a salesman, you are probably looking in the wrong place.
