Suppose Sunil visits his favorite coffee shop and encounters his good friend Rohit. Rohit raves about his stockbroker, whose firm employs an analyst who appears to have made many recent successful stock picks.
The conversation goes something like this:
SUNIL: Hi, Rohit, how are you?
ROHIT: Hi, Sunil. I'm doing great! I've been doing superbly in the market recently.
SUNIL: Really? What's your secret?
ROHIT: Well, my broker has passed along some great picks made by an analyst at her firm.
SUNIL: Wow, how many of these tips have you gotten?
ROHIT: My broker gave me three great stock picks over the past month or so. Each stock is up now, by over
10 percent.
SUNIL: That's a great record. My broker seems to give me one bad pick for every good one. It sounds like I need to talk to your broker; she has a much better record!
