RE:RE:RE:ATHlol, perhaps.
Most sell side research is basically garbage for the most part. That being said, when it suits them, people like referring to them to support their own thesis.
Unfortunately, not too many independent stock research firms around, especially for energy (and there is obviously the question of money, since research isn't free). The only one I can think of off the top of my head that is easily accessible is bow-tie guy's energy report. However, even bow-tie guy is charging $800 per year for his reports (I hope for 800 bucks, people are getting better advice than he gives on market call)

some ignorant can sell some stock to them for shorting purposes - they make more money this way. Now you know how this works. That said the retails are the target, always will be :)
