I am a cynic when it comes to both CEOs and equity research analysts. I think that many CEOs are political animals, bereft of vision and masters at using strategic double-speak to say absolutely nothing. I also believe that many equity research analysts are creatures of mood and momentum, more market followers than leaders. Once in while, though, my cynicism is upended by a thoughtful CEO or a well-done equity research report and even more infrequently by both happening at the same time, as was the case in this recent interplay between Sergio Marchionne, Fiat Chrysler's CEO, and Max Warburton, the auto analyst at Sanford Bernstein.
