Hi Scott, laughing my ass off, only been preaching this crap for the last ten years. Now be careful though, you're troding on Ed's sanctified turf. Surely the Houses would never participate in such activity, after all, their only concern is the financial health of us small retail investors, right? What they did not say is the reason that 90% of almost all IPO's by the six or seven major Houses are successful is a result of compelling the secondary Houses to support it in order to participate in future IPO's which allows the eventual pullbacks to be shared by everyone with the money made by the larger issuing House. RETAIL INVESTOR LOSES ONCE AGAIN. Volts

Stock Attack guys have a bearish bias It IS bizarre how celeb analysts can somewhat influence things, but I look at it a bit differently. First of all, she reduced her portfolio to 65% at the right time--remember???? Secondly, unless someone went to all cash (I don't think an analyst in her position could DO that) they were going to be way down for the year Thirdly, I think there is just a concerted effort now to call the bottom, Greenie will cut again, he's telling banks to lend, analysts are coming out and saying buy now, etc. And what else can you expect them to do? They're trying to get the economy back on track, which is better for us all. Am thinking this a.m. of buying either orcl or jdsu in my keogh, and writing calls on them for a while. Simply because I'd like to have them at cheap prices, and I might as well generate a little bit of profit on them. JDSU APril 30's would be 10%.
