a little more reality for all my friends; BARS just upgraded every stock that they could spell to their new category: "STRONG BUY" BA ROBERTSON STEPHENS. Investment banking concern has added a new category to its stock recommendation system. The firm now has five categories including a "strong buy" which did not exist before. BA Robertson Stephens expects this new category to provide clients with its "most urgent investment ideas" with significant appreciation potential over a three-to-six month time period. Based on this new ratings criteria, several stocks have been upgraded to this new category from their previous "buy" ranking. Among the issues listed in this new "strong buy" category are 3Dfx Interactive (TDFX 28 5/8 +3/8), America Online (AOL 71 3/8 +3 1/16), Applied Materials (AMAT 36 11/16 +1 3/8), Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC 22 -1/2), Level One Communications (LEVL 24 3/8 +7/8), Micrel Inc. (MCRL 37 7/8 -1/16), PhyCor Inc. (PHYC 23 +7/16), and SEQUUS Pharmaceuticals (SEQU 1- 1/2 -1/16). For a complete list of issues affected by the new ratings category, please refer to the Upgrades/Downgrades page.
