michael# and all, analyst upgrades/downgrades vs AMAT price geocities.com Michael, you said >when amat was 120 or so they were all recommending the hell out of the stock< Only Advest Inc. and Adams Harkness upgraded AMAT above 100, in April 2000. Most upgrades occurred 4Q98 and 1Q99, when it made the most sense because AMAT was still low. The up/down grade history is here biz.yahoo.com and also shown below. Use the Yahoo list to figure out the abbreviations I used in the chart.
