The biggest theives in the world upgrade and downgrade stocks. Its one of the biggest scams going. The only reason Tokyo Joe got in trouble and a place like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan etc al. dont is that Joe doesnt have a lobby groupd and the big boys do. I do happen to agree in this case that retailers are not a place Id want to have my money, but to take it out because one of the big houses has lowered its rating on it is a questionable reason IMHO.

( I have no opinion myself, I just heard news report on earnings and they didn't sound too bad to me. )
