Willcousa, It would be easy to make them say if they were just adding or selling before the rating change, but it would be more complicated to gain knowledge of what they did right after making the upgrade/downgrade. I am sure there must be some way of working this out, however. It would sure change things if we had this information. They would no longer be able to move the markets in the same way if their firm was trading the other way. That would then lead to more emphasis on analysts who are puttin their firm's money where their mouth is, and also to firms that only give advice and do not trade. (Briefing.com and Value Line, are two examples I think).
