Good question. I believe there's a difference between recent brokerage recommendations for Go2Net and what happened with Wang/Forbes... (for one, I haven't seen any Morgan Stanley analysts at the Go2Net offices doing any research. Does Morgan Stanley have 5 year projections developed for Go2Net that people can take a look at?).

At the same time, nothing is what it seems... in general, I don't support much of anything that the analysts/media are doing when there are public announcements of price targets (in sound byte form for public consumption) above or below current stock price. The Wall Street/Media system stinks.

There is a better way... it's called two-way communication. If you say something that effects the market price of a publicly traded company, you should be required to participate in a two-way public discussion forum. Otherwise, we have chaos where people (manipulators) go unchallenged, lies are spread and people get hurt.

How can anyone figure out what to believe if the Wall Street analysts (manipulators) cannot be directly questioned?
