The ML analysts made little mention of INSP's strengths or the near term commencement of Digeo's commercial roll-out, which will be a big deal. I think these analysts are being fickle and just going along with the crowd in downgrading now, attempting to be ahead of the fashion curve amongst analysts, which seems to lag reality by about a quarter or two. Truth be told, a downgrade now is not very timely, as has been the case with so many of Blodget's analysis this year. I made a killing before the merger short selling almost all of the companies he was recommending last winter, which are now either shutting down or shut down. I do believe INSP's business is viable and not in the same league as the money losing etailors he had been championing. As far as I'm concerned, recommendations of analysts affiliated with investment banks have no value and should be ingnored; however their reports can offer useful factual insight into a company if you can manage to filter out the objective from the subjective and ascertain its integrity.
