there is something else going on here, which I don't understand... but a broker friend who attended with me suggested that you may never know the reasons behind an analyt's recommendations....

I agree when you say there's something else going on. Lehman's comments today bordered on irresponsible. Talk about looking at shadows and seeing tigers and leopards. What do they do, play the Microsoft card every time they want a buying opportunity?

I'm feeling a bit jaded tonight. Imagine if one of us said we were worried about future Microsoft press releases knocking the stock? Wouldn't we be accused of shorting? Or at least of being alarmist? How much better for an analyst to explain the facts behind any announcement once it hits the press? For example, analyze the details, state how the companies differ, and calm investor fears instead of flame them?

Is this asking too much?

I want all negatives out in the open but I certainly don't want someone fanning the flames with false information and causing weak hands to dump without good reason.

Then again, the more who dump, the more we'll have at bargain prices. That's not all bad.

Later --
