Gary: I think your #2 is related to your #1 :) Did anyone else see that interview with the stock pusher Art Jeffries or something at like Imprudential when CNBC asked him if they made a market in any of the stocks he had just recommended? That was hillarious watching that guy squirm after he admitted red-faced that they in fact did!

Gary, as long as the rules of the game are understood by everyone it's fine...i often use upgrades as a shorting opportunity if they seem suspect. i still remember DLJ issuing a target of 280 on AMZN and Prudential 180 on NSOL...it's been nothing but downhill ever since. or Mary Meeker's 'strong buy' on AOL at 140... i agree that the SEC should look into these things, specifically to find out if upgrades are used for dumping inventory, which probably happens quite often.
