Joseph,

one thing about your comments. When CNBC presents an analyst and someone decides to buy, was that person forced to buy a stock? There was no gun to that person's head.

Now, on the other hand, if an analyst said "Buy Company XXX", however if that analyst in private meeting with his employer said "Let's sell", in a way that is a classic "pump and dump"

Tis only a smack on the wrist....
