"how much longer are we are going to be led around with a leash by analysts and columnists who unfortunately wield a giant influence on market sentiment. I don't know what we can do to neutralize their influence, if anything."

Jenna, Adelle, Susan G.:

I think the only way is to keep doing what you are already doing, that is, to keep the thread posted as to analysts views and leading publications articles on major stocks and trends. Mr.'s Bogle and Buffet made their views on analysts quite clear this past week. Suffice it to say that while noone is going to argue that position, analysts themselves justify their opinions and their jobs by changing their recommendations. My friends are convinced that those changes themselves are some sort of manipulation. It can't be proved so I won't claim that it is. I only complain when a stock upgrade leads to a very s-t bump up and a longer term move down and the opposite on a downgrade. Of course it only happens to the ones I buy!

The articles are simply written to sell copy? Too easy but too often the case. There is a well known Barron's Effect on Monday's and beyond. For that reason alone I was a religious reader each Saturday morning. Not so much now and that is why I appreciate the attention called to those articles in Barron's, Business Week, WSJ, IBD, etc. You three in particular have always done a good job of reporting those and other posts and opinions that exist - so much information is available now that it is impossible to track it all. I spend alot of time tracking various SI threads because of the balance and richness of the work available.

Just wanted to thank you and let you know your efforts are appreciated.
