Recently, as the scandal of Merrill Lynch and Enron have become the truth, the securities analysts' conflicts of interest have been the focus around the world. There is little doubt that the securities analysts have made great contribution to the securities market. Their commitment in data collecting and analyzing largely enhance the efficiency in pricing in the market. The independence and objectivity of the securities analysts become the key to their effectiveness and efficiency.
