For whatever this is worth, Cypress Semiconductor was rated "strong buy" by analyst Rick Whittington at Banc of America Securitities. Rick Whittington used to be with Soundview Financial as a semiconductor analyst a few years ago and then, I believe, was involved with a hedge fund. Whittington had a strong following on Wall Street, that is to say people listened to him. However, he was noted for creating some chaos and uncertainty because he was quick to change his mind. Whether he was consistently right or wrong, it did not matter. Maybe he's back now because he wants to see his name in the financial press again, and maybe he wants to be a part of some semiconductor uptrend, or at least to make it appear as though he predicted it. His ego surpasses that of CY's CEO TJR.
