we rarely have access to the opinion or basis of opinion of the buy-side analysts whose primary concern is that their clients' investment portfolios do well. If there is anything retail investors should have learned in the last two years, it's that the sell-side analysts don't necessarily have the same motivation. Agreed Mike. I think it is the sell side analysts that seem to have a lot of influence in the short term manipulation and the buy side probably just go along for the ride to make a point or two given that they hear about the opportunity before the rest of us. The sell side influence then becomes a self-fulfilling proposition even when it is FUDD or FUDBOF rather than just plain FUD. <ggg>
