AndyK, I think the motivation for analysts is to make money. They will do or say anything to accomplish that. Any time an analyst denigrates a particular stock, I assume he is short that stock. If he recommends the stock, I consider him a long. Either way, he is just talking his book and I don't pay too much attention. Getting truthful, reliable information is a challange at the best of times. We've sure experienced that with SGR. Caveat emptor.
