One interesting exercise is to check out what the brokerages do after issuing a report, an upgrade/downgrade or earnings revision. Not surprisingly, following a positive analyst report, you often see that same firm selling stock; and after a negative report, you can see the firm buying stock.

I've seen it time after time, particularly with the high techs. When an investment bank (or a big customer) is caught out with shares they want or need to dump, the will pump up the stock so they can sell into strength.

Anyone with access to Level 2 quotes should check it out some time. Of course, I'm sure there are exceptions.
