Here's an SPX gem:

Complete with the usual analyst downgrades after the stock crashes -- to play the ratings came properly an analyst is required to keep moving up targets and spewing out hype until the stock cries uncle and crashes. Then lower targets and issue downgrades. What I don't know is if the A#1 clients were told to bail out before the crash...

Downgrades
Company Symbol Brokerage Firm Downgrade from: ¯ Downgrade to:

UNUM Corp UNM AG Edwards Accumulate ¯ Maintain Position
UNUM Corp UNM DLJ Top Pick ¯ Buy
UNUM Corp UNM JP Morgan Buy ¯ Mkt Perform
UNUM Corp UNM Mrgn Stnly Dn Wttr Strong Buy ¯ Outperform

Are those analysts insane -- 6 strong buys, 6 moderate buys, 3 holds, and no sells???
