It is very difficult to prove "manipulation" as analysts will simply reply that they are expressing an "opinion" as their defense against any charges that might be brought their way. It is even more difficult because they ensure that their are NO links between themselves and anyone profiting from the situation (such as a friend who sells and shorts shares prior to a downgrade announcement).

Yup, they are no dummies. And many times they are vindicated by self-fulfilling prophecy.

Master, They can. It is called Type 1 or Type 2 account. Type 1 is a cash account. Type 2 is a margin account. When you elect for the margin account, you give your permission to lend your securities. To revoke, merely change back to a Type 1 cash account.
