The emerging technology is embodied by the online brokerages that the emerging investors are going to curse when their emerging investments go south. Right now it seems most of these brokers can't even handle the load on normal days. When the meltdown happens, you can bet that Ameritrade, Investrade, Suretrade, Datek, E-trade, and many others are just going to shut down, just like in 1987.

All: Many .COM stocks have price fluctuations of +50% or more in a month. Is it not strange that whilst Analysts have few Upgrades/Downgrade for the .COM stocks, they continue to make innumerable recommendations for Stocks that sometimes have a price change of 20% in a quarter.

As an example a month ago MOLX was recommended as a BUY at $31+. Today at $36+ it receives a downgrade which took it down by 10%.

Perhaps someone can explain the logic.
