Great Lakes Review, a division of Wellington Shields & Co. LLC

Great Lakes Review is located in Cleveland, Ohio, was founded in 1981 and became a division of Wellington Shields & Co. LLC in 2011. Great Lakes Review is a research boutique focused on the fundamentally-oriented investor seeking companies that dominate their respective specialty niche regardless of industry. The objective is to make money for the long-term by gradually accumulating a diversified portfolio from a universe of no more than 30 companies.  Although short-term-oriented accounts will be alerted to trading opportunities, aggressive sell recommendations are triggered only by a deterioration in long-term fundamentals, not by short-term blips or investor fancy. Coverage of those names that lose their earnings momentum or earnings predictability may be dropped and replaced with more vital candidates.
