StrataGist ARCHIVES

Feed-back.com has published regular issues of StrataGist for the past three years. In 2008 and 2009, the focus was to compare local and U.S. market trends. Since 2010, the perspective was shifted to include analysts' observations from Feed-back.com and other sources. Review the following listings for the editions you would like to read.

One Analyst's Observations…

Ideally, analysts conduct research, evaluate the results, and describe the markets they're covering as objectively as possible. Their assessments are still subjective because the assumptions, processes, and tools they apply influence the presentations. In the best case scenario, an analyst provides the basis for his or her conclusions and lets you decide if you agree or disagree. StrataGist is the forum for Feed-back.com's lead analyst and other analysts to add their perspectives to the mix.
