For years now, the SEC has allowed mutual fund managers and brokers to make 
upgrades and downgrades in stocks they, or their friends, or holding positions 
in.  If the SEC does not get control of this the investment public is going to 
wonder of the SEC also is in on the charade.  I have been an investor for 40 
years now and I see the obvious.  These market movers are playing games with 
the individual investor. How can you continue to allow it to go on?
 
Thank you    David Strange
