"I see what you are saying and technically they are the same but in my mind there is a big difference in hyping a stock with 500 million shares that trades 750,000 or more a day and hyping a stock with a 1 million float that trades 20K a day."

The "bigs" have commensurately greater resources and influence. Hype, buy 1 sell 2; tout, buy 2 sell 3; upgrade, buy none sell 5. Ethical superiority by greater wealth? Got Calvinism? The "bigs" are just more sophisticated and powerful.

The fact of the matter is that people in the US have the right to express their opinion, even if they don't really believe it. How is one to know? Got "Thought Police"? They don't step over the line unless they knowingly misrepresent the truth for personal gain, like the fake Emulex PR release a few months ago. I don't know about this kid Lebed, but I don't recall TJ saying anything about any stock that you couldn't find in some SEC licensed analyst report. Has Henry Blodget been arrested? He's the one who does not have the right to say whatever he wants, by statute and contract.

I never really minded the "bigs" games so much, I go with the flow. But it barks my hide to see the SEC go after some small-time schmucks while they leave the real rapists alone. I suppose it's to be expected, since the decision makers at the SEC are mostly from, and will return to, Wall St. Got "Moral Hazard"?
