Re: Analysts strong buy recommendations down from 175:

Nice job, Chung Lee. And right on. So much for the analysts.

The tenor of posts on this AOL board has changed noticeably in the last few weeks, swinging more towards worry, concern, and fear. We are not quite there yet in terms of the consensus going strongly negative, but getting close.

Another 20 or 30 points should do the job, erasing those who have held all the way down, and setting the stage for AOL to be a reasonable long-term investment again.

I like your list. The broad history of analysts' and brokerages' recommendations of AOL starts with all of them ignoring AOL, then gradually falling in love with it, then selling it in every corner of the known universe. At that point, they have to keep recommending it, hoping they can talk it back up so they won't look like schmucks to the clients they sold it to.
Best,

Looks like Brown really wants to get out. ...CS First Boston isn't in that list. I'll have to look into the performance of their picks.
