Interesting day. Prudential downgrades to "sell",while Merrill reiterates a "buy"; calling PPRO "attractive" below "$20". Also makes you wonder why the auditors disallowed some revenue at the "11th hour". Looks to me like Prudential got caught with their pants down during the recent run-up. One thing for sure, Prudential owes Merrill big-time because Merrill could have upgraded it to "strong buy" just to hammer Prudential; professional courtesy I guess. :) IC P.S. Good job to Merrill for policing their analysts today. Making an analyst recommend based on what they actually think is a good thing. Merrill moved up to the top shelf in my book.
