re. <<Needham & Co upgraded ASYT, AMAT, NVLS, and BRKS from hold to buy today.>> You could lose a lot of money doing what these guys recommend. Hold means, sell, right? They recommended, in effect, selling these stocks when they were half or a third of their present price. And now they want you to buy them. Somehow it looks like their recommendations are more then 90 degrees out of phase with the stock price. When business conditions driven by fab over-capacity and lack of capital in asia haven't really improved. I'm reducing my exposure to Asyst and other sector stocks now.
