Wall Street Researchers can not make an honest buck becasue of our President. He has destroyed the economy and our country. You can barely walk down the street anymore because of the problems he has caused. These Wall street stock brokers are just an extension of all Republicans who like to steal honest people's money.

Analysts swing the market in their favor and their big clients. They dump all their stock, first, and then announce a downgrade. And while everyone is dumping their shares, they gobble them up at discount prices. Then they come out with an upgrade, watch the price rocket, and then repeat the whole process.
