I think what 'hold' means, 'hold on, don't do anything yet' ... What the hell is a 'hold', either if it is good, it is a 'buy', if it is no good, it is a 'sell', 'hold' means we have no frigging idea whether it is going to go up or go down ...

Jach, Will try to find my archived article from either WSJ or Smart Money featuring what's going on with analysts and post it. Gist of article is that analysts now are regarded as rainmakers for their firms, and their ability to bring in investment banking deals for Wall St firms on the corporations they cover determines pay. Hence in order not to jeopardize future investment banking deals, analysts rarely issue sell recommendations and instead couch them as "holds". Above phenomenon also invariably leads to analyst reports that always look at world as if through rose covered glasses. Again, one must have historical experience with both UBS and particular analyst to judge the call he's making here. Regards, Peter.
