Mike, seems most analysts are guilty of downgrading stocks after 50-75% loss of market cap. I had to laugh yesterday as CNBC was discussing Merrill's advertising push pointing out how many investors are better off with a full service firm and suggesting that many would have escaped the carnage if with Merrill. Seems to me they haven't been any better than anyone else. Seems they maintained a buy on ALA in the seventies with a target in the ninties if memory serves. It is amazing how quickly investors forget.

Gotta be near a bottom. Anxious to close this quarter out.

Mike, all the downgrades probably mean we are at the bottom and it's time to buy. There was a point in time where I didn't believe big name brokers play games, but I do now. I show only about a couple hundred K difference between volume and bid and volume at ask. Not sure why the stock got hit so hard today.
