"just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean no one is out to get you."

Some of you may be old enough to remember this battle cry of the sixties, or was it the seventies?

This is a very strange sequence of events. It started last week with Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder followed by an UBS downgrade hours before earnings release.

Then we have a Bears Stearns hit piece yesterday. Today we got CSFB.

Sandwiched in between was QCOM's actual earnings release and conference call. I may have to listen to the conference call again this weekend. These analysts must be seeing something that I missed.

I only have one question for CSFB. What has changed with QCOM which would warrant a change of opinion from 45 to 25? That is a 44% downgrade!!!! What is that in real life terms? $15 billion????

Furthermore, I was told by a totally unreliable source that yet another brokerage which covers qcom had informed their analysts that all target prices must be within 20% of its current trading price. If true, there should be another downgrade forthcoming?

In this day and age that Wall Street and corp officers are being hauled away in handcuffs on a daily basis, it appears that it has no impact on "business as usual".

I am starting to be a believer of that second shot from the grassy knoll.
