Sounds like your someone who believes in efficient market theory of
corporate decision making, based on "knowing" the value of something as
unquantifiable as a research analyst. Hope your sake your not trading on
similar hypothesis about efficient markets.

Very likely, a new department head, thinks cutting $100K out of a billion
dollar business which is based on good will and relationships, is going to
make any positive difference. Any difference will only be a negative one,
and never will be attributed to this.

More likely the new head is drunk with the power of the new position, and
had to use it to fire someone. The famous "I sent a message" because I can.
I am sure the Smith Barney clients who have worked with this analyst for
years, got the message about what kind of things to expect from Smith Barney
going forward.
