Jenna - great post, absolute hypocracy! All these hold side analysts - like they have not been selling early on - give me a break. Were to you think all the early selling came from to start this slide in the first place!!!!! They are the first ones out!

Gangrenous! Ugh I can smell the putrid stench from here. I would sorely love to see some accountability and disclosure from these people from Abby to Blodgett that at the time of these pronouncements, they are telling the truth. They do handle people's life savings. Why should they not be accountable? The day is coming one way or another I should think. In the meantime CNBC constantly touting stocks w/ 75% haircuts from year highs. What about the ones that weren't affected so disastrously? They recieve no mention. Guess we'll never change freedom of the press as an amendment right. Accountability for brokerages would be a good thing. Briefing.com posted a request for information from investors who bought on recommendations from brokerage firms w/ a specific price target. They were interested in stories of people who had bought at a high valuation with an even higher price target presented by the brokerage firm and have suffered major losses. I'm sure they'll recieve more than enough material for their story. Floods of it. It has to start somewhere. Maybe these stories are a beginning.

Absolutely correct, Jenna. That is in part why I find it so disingenuous and so despicable that these analysts and fund managers can be promoting stocks each and every day while they are selling into their customers foolish buying. I'm completely for a free market of open trading. I'm completely against fraud and manipulation. I would like to offer a suggestion. What do you all think of this ? A new federal law enforced by the SEC prohibiting any investment organization from issuing a 'Buy 'Accumulate' or 'Strong Buy' coverage of a stock while simultaneously liquidating over 10% of it's position in that day or any of the two subsequent days. I think that would give them adequate time to measure their words.
