Get a grip! I, for one, knowing how the industry works from a life time of observation and talking to friends in the industry, am heartily sick of "demon theory" postings. I have done this before and lived to regret it--because of the time it takes to educate--do you know any analysts? Do you know what their their day-to-day life is as an experience? No, you sit at your PC and vent. Walk some miles in their shoes, digging all moments of the days and nights for information. Live through times when good long-term information is meaningless in the short term.

Maybe there was something that we don't know about that insiders leaked, but sure as hell it wasn't the downgrade that did this. If you want to talk manipulation think in terms of thinly traded stocks where a couple of market makers trade back and forth among themselves to fix a price and in the process either squeeze some shorts or pick up people foolish enough to have put in stop losses (which, by the way, I would hazard to guess caused a lot of today's anguish).
