was talking about the Cramer's and Corey Johnson's. As to Wall Street analysts, actually, as a group they have gotten it, but, been somewhat conservative with price targets while mostly having buys and some holds (they're average price target has been in the $200s for years, right? far far cry from the "Bubble stock", "cult stock" nonsense of Johnson and Cramer).
VA, I recommend you watch that 6 minute Cramer video I posted. Cramer came from the hedge fund world, I believe Cory J. did as well... it's very likely that now, they both are just on the other side of the game, helping out buddies still at the funds with their TV commentary. Same for Tim Seymour.
I've seen it before, many times.
I'm not saying some of that is not going on. But what you're claiming is much much much larger cross-border conspiracy than what's explained in that video.
