Carl: re <<Manipulation of semi stocks.........>> I've said all along that analysts should be required by SEC regs to post their prior performance on stocks they are expressing a rating for. That way the market can have an immediate reference point on that analyst. My guess would be that the adjective "influential" would disappear from in front of most of their job titles. As far as manipulation goes, the market isn't stupid for long when it comes to valuing a stock. When Kurlak was wrong on intel, (The most recent time), his recommendations had an ephemeral effect on the stock price at best.

"For all those people out there who think I'm crazy to say that these analysts are manipulating these semi stocks should read the following articles and then you might understand what I am saying." Carl, noy crazy at all but where were you when Intel was manipulated down, or HP manipulated up by multiple upgrades and rose 20 points in a week and then HP announced they wouldn't make their numbers, all in a 2 week period. So where were theses ANALysts getting the data to make upgrades? certainly not from HP. What about Prudential and PIXR, multiple upgrades on it in a 2 month period, PIXR (bug life) delivered and what does Prudential do? downgrade. Manipulation is everywhere and it seems like that's what the SEC or DOJ should look at to me. jim
