What one can draw from the downgrade is an intent to depress the price of WDC and similar stocks, in an effort to obtain a better, less risky buying point.

Your history on SI demonstrates that you'll gladly accept the upgrades, but that you view downgrades as an intent to depress the price for purchase.

The behavior you attribute to this analyst happens to be illegal. If you have evidence of such intent, I would suggest you share it with the SEC.

As for the reasonableness of their analysis supporting the downgrade, it appears they overlook too many factors that are likely to make a difference (to the upside) in the next six months, if not more.

Yet you don't specify any of those factors, which really do not exist. Kathryn Huberty happens to have an exceptional track record, and is ranked in the top 10% of analysts. I can find no public records that would indicate she has ever been charged with a crime such as you describe above.

The only thing that can help this stock is resolution of long term supply issues, since status quo leads to declining earnings a few years out. Your comment here is similar to those made about SanDisk downgrades, as it slid from triple digits to the 40's.
