THIRD TEAM Douglas Mitchelson  Deutsche Bank Securities

Douglas Mitchelson of Deutsche Bank Securities, who debuted last year in the runner-up position, climbs to third place. One supporter dubs the Greenwich, Connecticut–based analyst a “gifted intellectual skeptic.” Mitchelson upgraded Dish Network Corp., a provider of subscription-television services headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, from hold to buy back in October 2009, at $17.40, largely on valuation. The stock had zoomed 42.9 percent, to $24.86, by the end of August 2011.
