He probably sold, and is looking for that cheap re-entry point.

This is good. The more negative sentiment from analysts on CNBC the closer we are to the bottom. You have to laugh at the advice these people give. It's always the opposite to what you should actually be doing. The only good advice I ever got from TV was off W$W. The rest are just squirrels trying to get a nut. CNBC is a joke, except for Maria, who is such a little hottie, and that stock ticker that slides across the screen, which is occasionally fun to watch. The coverage CNBC gave to KREM was pathetically indicative of the quality of its "news". They should all dress up like clowns on CNBC, then nobody could be confused about who they were getting their "news" from. Except Maria, of course. She should be naked <g>

I believe Ward is an institutional investor. With his own axe to grind...and agenda. He may even be short JDSU. These guys love the carnage. Why? They believe we are fools (which many of us are). They also believe if we don't feel safe investing on our own, we will go to the funds. And they may be right. But they will have to contend with the major brokerage houses. The houses want us to use THEIR brokers to buy the stocks THEY want us to buy. And what are those stocks? The banks. Hmmmm And, of course, the crap we don't want. So I guess they feel they have to force the USX's and International Papers down our throats. Rest assured, the prices of those stocks will continue to rise until we decide to buy.

"It is amazing how the SEC, after all these years, have not regulated ANALysts nor have they looked into the unscrupulous practices Wall Street firms have used to wield certain power over the market or particular stocks via their ANALysts. Shame on the SEC. " Congradulations. Well said. Cozy relationships between analysts recommendation and security firm large institutional clients never been a matter of concern for SEC. Equal justice under law is not a motto SEC follows.

agree with you 101%. An additional point of hypocrasy is that many of these analyst are CFA's - Certified Financial Analysts, which is a 3 year pain in the butt course of studying and exams, with a heavy dose of ethics. The regulating body of the CFA's, AIMR in Virginia has the power to revoke the CFA license. Most analysts who write the rsch reports as we know just recommend their firms investment banking clients (1% sell recs). For example, you should read the sellside notes that were printed today on TERN, etc etc. How many times has AIMR revoked or even investigated CFA's for ethics violations regarding recommending stocks they knew were trash? My guess is zero times. Yet, many firms and individuals tout CFAness. My first job in the business was with a firm that had a policy of NOT hiring CFA's, due to their inability for creative thinking. Pretty funny and sad at the same time. Should I get off my soapbox now? Ask Peter Lynch if he has a CFA, or Warren Buffet. I think AIMR should be held accountable. AIMR is nothing more than a union.

It is amazing how the SEC, after all these years, have not regulated ANALysts nor have they looked into the unscrupulous practices Wall Street firms have used to wield certain power over the market or particular stocks via their ANALysts. Shame on the SEC. Touche!! You took those words out of my mouth. If that analyst from GS who reduced MSFT revenues estimates is be wrong, he will just say" "hey conditions changed", yet he has caused a lot of damage to the US economy. If an analyst does not have an agenda when he/she issues an opinion on a stock, then I have an ocean property in Phoenix which I will sell it with zero down. paul
