Some analysts say very highly about a company before the company is about to give warnings. For example, an analyst from Goldman Sachs (or Solomon Brothers) talked very highly about QNTM with a price target of $80 in a year and a lot of innocent buyers bought that day with the price rising from 27 to 30. Of course someone was selling too. [Goldman was one of the largest shareholders.] The next day the price went down to 26 and so on to 19 a week later when QNTM warned about earnings falling below expectations.

CPQ and Dell dropped today. Merrill should have bought these shares heavily if their analyst is right. I do not know if many investors trust these analysts any more.
