It is not downgrade. It is a initiation.

PeterR1700: Here is a case where Kaufman Brothers pushed a stock that collapsed with a consequent lawsuit against the management for selling out around $20 prior to stock dropping to $8 securities.stanford.edu <<<< During mid-April 1996, IMP officers Carrington, Laws and Isherwood had discussions with a securities analyst named LaFountain of Kaufman Brothers who was writing a report on IMP, providing him with very favorable information about IMP, telling him that demand for IMP's product was strong,IMP's backlog was growing and the Company expected to earn $.20 per share in 1996 and $.40 per share in 1997.>>>> <<<<< As a result, on April 25, 1996, LaFountain of Kaufman Brothers issued a report on IMP which recommended purchase of IMP's stock and forecasted earnings of $.20 per share for fiscal 1996 and $.40 for fiscal 1997, stating that recent conversations with management indicated that "[theCompany's] business trends continue at strong levels," especially driven by the secondary storage business. IMP also reproduced and distributed the Kaufman Brothers' report to other analysts, the financial press and prospective investors. On April 25, 1996, IMP's stock surged another $2-1/8 per share to close at $15, on volume of 18.1 million shares. >>> SES

kbro.com Here is the link to their web site. Below is the email I sent to them. ************************************ You have to be kidding!? Dell "initiated" with a SELL rating. What's the rational, long term, short term or what? This company has some of the best fundamentals of any company I've invested in. They are also positioned to take market share as computer unit growth starts to slow down. They definitely will take advantage of the channel inventory problems the other big three are experiencing. I would appreciate any feedback (especially rational for the recommendation). Thanks, Mark Brown
