Touchy, touchy this morning, yeh? The fact is that there are very few analysts who are better than some guys here on SI. Crook is no exception. So lighten up a little bit and be happy. ^_^ later, InSook

It's easy to slam analysts, even when they're on your side. Without going into the details of encounters I have had with them, all I can say is that I never read an analysts' report that I thought showed depth of understanding of an industry. Of course, what makes them everyone's friend when they issue a "buy" rating is the fact that it makes the stock go up. Who wouldn't like that? Aside from the shorts.

P-guy: I don't follow the analysts. IMHO, if you want to be a successful investor you gotta position yourself independent of their statements. If you're own analysis is correct eventually the market will respond & the stock price will improve. As far as my comment regarding your buddy Crook, I don't know anything 'bout him other than your reference to him on this board starting about 2-3 months ago. Your comments suggest your blind allegiance to someone who has demonstrated no superior ability to forecast the price movement of this stock. In fact, his record indicates a less than mediocre performance. To suggest that you "got the impression he was going to raise the target soon" at this point in time is one of the most lame brain comments to come across this board in weeks. I can see why you idolize this guy.
