Karim, go back to my post of the yahoo upgrade/downgrade history. On that page you will see a translation table for the terms "strong buy", "outperform" etc. mean for every different broker. Some of the brokers are literally incapable of declaring a stock a "sell" -- it is simply not in their vocabulary (Hambrecht & Quist is one example).

Also keep in mind that "outperform", even if we take it at face value, would mean only that it will do better than average. But if it drops 20% in six months and the "average" stock drops 25%, it has "outperformed". Careful!
