>>It really means that Henry is using TA and will not issue a strong buy until he sees a clear trend up. I think you're right on the money. Due to the analyst scoring system, they tend to wait for momentum turns.

So if you want to see the rating raised, get all your friends to buy. At least to the point where I break even on my unfortunate 114 buy on Tuesday. Ah... I see, now that seems clearer. However, if I do that, I will end up with no friends... Then again, if I would be paid enough to execute the above suggestion, I may... well, forget that friendship has value. hmmmm come to think of it... I guess I could say that I was, "Bought-out", another "act of mercenary self interest"... hey, I would go for it! It seems to be appealing, imagine all that money... we could buy all kinds of [polyester] friends, you know, the disposable type... Girls, wine, off-shore beaches, (with homes)... I guess I could be persuaded... Unfortunately, I am only a pedestrian, with no moneyed friends... Hmmm... bummer! But I like the idea. As for your 114 brake even... yes, I can see your predicament... Have you considered... er... "averaging down" ? <g> after all, pigs do fly... Remember that if tomorrow, the unemployment numbers come out favorable to the market, we may see a voodoo extravaganza, (not to mention your chance to bail.. indeed, you may look like a genius)... On the other hand, if such numbers come out against the market, you may "accumulate" your loss... (to offset other gains, of course).
