I've been trading a long time and I have never been able to make sense out of the Anal-cyst and their up/down grades. I did months of work and lots of hard drive space to try and find some or any that got things right over 50% of the time. Short term their recommendations often effect a stocks action, but they most often down grade after a stock has already lost it's arse or upgrade after it's gone up 50% --- I do try to avoid down grades, at least until the knee jerk action settles down. --- I did some buying of INTC Friday but I also hedged by selling OCT calls against what I bought. --- I'm not in anything very deep, and I haven't been all year. but I have now started to buy ( a little with some reservations ) and only INTC and AMAT so far. --- Jim
