Edit this title from the Fast Facts Section
I like XEL, but this report just rehashes information that we already know. Even if it wasn't, we'd have to take it with a grain of salt because it states itself that it is not neutral or impartial.
From the end of the report:

2) In the last 12 months, WWCM, or its affiliates, have received compensation

I'll be thrilled when we have a report or two from some independent brokerages or investment banks.
