Analyst was brain-dead. Technical bounce alone on this stock could be up to 30%. It's very oversold. I put in an order at 18 today but it never filled.

>>>, talking about under selling a stock! Let's see, trading at $18-$19, a 30-40% return would be put BMCS in the $25-$26 range--<<<

so the analysts are finally talking reasonably.

earlier this spring, they set incredibly high targets on so many stocks, they ran so fast ... there was really no place to go but down.

I don't mind seeing 'reasonable' targets. That leaves room for additional higher new targets on fundamentally sound company's, once they have begun their moves back up.

In the Spring, the market was in a frenzy. Targets given for some company's were 100%, 200%, 300 percent. Greed was rampant. The after-affect was to our demise.

It is safer to see reason than frenzy

Hmmm. A mere 2 weeks later, BMCS has already attained this "analyst's" (and I use the term loosely) target, which he said would take 12-18 months. I wish there were some kind of accountability for these weak thoughtless projections. Hold their analysis up to reality. Maybe that would improve the quality of their projections a bit.
