This list consists of the top stock-picking brokerage firms (public) over the last 5 year period versus the S&P 500.
In the Barron's 3-12-07 issue, they did an article on which firms were "...staying atop the Wall Street broker pyramid."
Discount broker Charles Schwab came out on top and maintained their general dominance.
"Barron's rates the stock-picking abilities of brokers that issue focus lists, or rosters of their best ideas. We rely on data compiled by Zacks Investment Research, an independent outfit that keeps a running tally of the firms' focus lists over various periods."
