Who's the Most Bullish

The following charts highlight how each of the major brokerage firms rank in terms of the number of stocks their analysts rate as buys and sells (data courtesy of Bloomberg).  Since each firm covers a different amount of stocks, we converted the values to percentages.  In terms of buys, Deutsche Bank is the most bullish with 47% of all recomendations coming in as buys, while Goldman Sachs is the most reserved with buys making up only 26% of the total.  Using the same analysis for sells, we found that Prudential is the most liberal with its sell ratings (24%), while Wachovia is the least likely to slap a sell on a stock (3%).
