RE: "J Cohen boosted target 38% in just two months."
(4/98) The 12-month target price is $100.00 per share.
(2/98) The 12-month target price is $123.00 per share.
** [$62.50 post split]

If I'm not mistaken, I think it is closer to a 60% boost.
100.00-62.50 = 37.50
37.50/62.50 = 60%
That does seem kind of outrageous. I got stopped out on my short @ $80 1/4--those bastards. I tried cancelling my order when I saw it moving up, but I think I missed by a couple minutes. Of course I may end up thankful with all this craziness.

It is important to note that Jonathan Cohen was the lone bear on AOL back 1 1/2 years ago when he worked for Smith Barney. There was a long piece in Barron's on him back then. I believe he got canned for not playing ball. Since then, he has been with CS and now, Merrill Lynch, and the man has found religion. He knows who pays his bonus.
