Morningstar quantitative analysis -buy?
Hey when the morningstar buy analysis indicates strong buy/holds (say 2 buy 1 hold) and lists say 5 participating brokers, does that mean:
A - 5 brokers have placed buy orders?
B - 5 brokers possess shares from already executed orders
C - several are holding onto shares longer term
D - combination of above?
Can someone break it down for me and explain?
