Sell-Side

The sell side alludes to the analysts who cover companies for businesses and investment banks. They "sell" stock thoughts and tips and bring in money off the trading their clients do and the stock and bonds offered by the companies their analysts cover. The organizations' clients are companies, of course, and the buy side.
