A class action suit is a terrific idea. Wouldn't that put a stop to most of this garbage! Go to it.

jmac, RE: I am interested in finding persons who own either AMD or INTC stock prior to Wittington's call last week and sold after his call of last week. If you meet these criteria, I would like you to PM message as I am interested in filing a class action suit against Wittington and BOA. Let me see here. You took the advice of somebody who you have never met before. You most probably haven't even read his original report. And yet you took his advice anyway, even though he has absolutely no fiduciary duty to you. On top of that, if you followed his advice, you would have made money. Exactly what would be the grounds of the suit? And if you won, would you give back the short term profits you gained by selling when he said 'sell' and buying back when he said 'buy'?

Jmac, Re: I am interested in finding persons who own either AMD or INTC stock prior to Wittington's call last week and sold after his call of last week. I sold AMD yesterday (at the bottom, as usual), only to witness today a 12% gain after the BoA upgrade. IMO it was never more obvious that this was manipulation to drive the stock price down and buy in again cheap later. Especially the price targets for AMD were an joke: Whittington didn't alter his EPS estimates but he upped the price target by 30% today. Does he want to tell us that AMD deserves a 30% higher P/E level today after it was doomed one week ago? I appreciate your efforts but I don't think you will be successful. Analysts do these kind of things on a regular basis but usually they cover their tracks better. If they get away with this all the time why shouldn't that apply for Whittington this time? Andreas
