RE:RE:RE:TD maintains 5$ targetI have been investing for over 15 years and have forced myself over time to ignore targets as much as possible - I agree with you; however I do read analyst comments and often find value in them. Generally speaking it's impossible to predict where a stock will be - but you can say where a stock should be if everything was equal, e.g. compared to peers etc. etc.
I still find that useful, even in an unequal world.
At the end of the day you need a story that supports your investment decisions :)
