Ted, the chip stock analysts are definitely slimeballs. It is a cyclical industry, and the play it to the hilt. The only logic they care about is making money for themselves - and they play off the ignorance of people who haven't figured this out yet.

Dave, I disagree....I think with Reg RF or RD, whatever, that the analysts have been forced to be more accurate. They don't have the power nor the control they once had. They are in competition with the retail investor and everyone else to get the info on a company. The cozy relationships between analysts and companies is mostly a thing of the past. Therefore, I think the analysts are trying to read what's going on and get it out to the public as fast and as accurately as possible. Unfortunately, this economic slowdown has been hard to read.

The above notwithstanding, I have had too good a day to call anyone a slimeball with the possible exception of a few like maybe R. Surckle. ;~))
