"That stuff isn't "manipulation." It is simply a matter of perception running into the brick wall of reality. The perception of investors (large and small) was that ORCL would show more impressive growth than it did. Now the stock is simply letting a lot of air out." Michael: Wasn't the perception in part created by analysts? The other part is investor greed(greed is good). To me, this is what makes the market function, brokers & investors money or makes the market function , the brokers money and the investors scream like today. Regards George

And you think no one knew about the "brick wall of reality" until they rammed it headlong? You're right, though. Banning all analysts is not the answer. I was thinking more along the lines of a firing squad... "Firing" meaning that their respective firms should get rid of them if their predictions are inacurate. Remember what happened with Kurlak and his Micron comments. Finally, someone at Merril woke up and gave him das boot. I just think the analysts have too much influence.
