Zeroman >>I've got no problem longing stocks on analyst downgrades. Can you believe these guys get paid for these calls?!<< This is the only way in which I think analysts are of any help they love to downgrade close to a bottom. It is sometimes a good idea to hold a bit longer and momentum may carry the price further down. Of course things not always work! my tendency is to ignore analysts all toghether and trust my own work. I think I have said it before the S&P guys seem to be as good as any and since they do not sell stock IMO they do not take up/downgrades as lightly as most in WS. Pancho PS: I am long WDC but don't know if this is the right time to jump in. Downside risk probably less than long CTXS!
