摘要

Over the past 20 years, Wall Street security analysts, on average, have forecasted five-year earnings growth of 11.5 percent for the companies they follow. Actual growth has been just 6 percent. John Bogle attributes the analysts' overshooting to their reliance on the notoriously overoptimistic guidance of corporate managers, who, as he wryly comments, at least have the excuse of self-interest.
