There was actually another headline alert between those two that seems to have since been withdrawn that said <close paraphrase from memory> "Morgan Stanley denies that it stated that no comment was made". (edit: I had all three ready to post this afternoon, but had si/isp troubles and couldn't get them posted)

Whoops, dueling analysts! Merrill was/is long IBM, big-time!: 3/19 15:18 IBM Reiterated Near-Term 'Buy' at Merrill Princeton, New Jersey, March 19 (Bloomberg Data) -- Intl Business Machines Corp. (IBM US) was reiterated near-term ''buy'' by analyst Steven M. Milunovich at Merrill Lynch & Co. The long-term rating is also ''buy.'' quote.bloomberg.com LOL! Absolutely amazing! Check that time-stamp (from the main Bloomberg page.) It must have been like an EPA Hazardous Materials squad mobilizing there in Merrill Lynch HQ when they saw that IBM downgrade from Morgan Stanley become official at 2:41. Wow!
