DonHarrold.net Commentary -- April 28, 2006
My most recent published rating on Symantec (Nasdaq:SYMC) was SELL. While there may be more downside ahead, I believe that the bulk of the recent move has occurred. For that reason I feel an upgrade is in order for SYMC to "Weak Sell."
A "Weak Sell" stock like Symantec (Nasdaq:SYMC) is one that I think will probably move lower, yet the downtrend should be minimal at this point. If you hold the stock and are hoping for a move higher, a "Weak Sell" could be good news.
The "Weak Sell" rating is tricky, though. There are mixed signals that at once show the stock is going lower still, but could stop the drop anytime. It's a signal that says, "Be ready for a change of character".
My least favorite rating is the "Weak Sell" or "Weak Buy". But, on the flipside, the next stop from "Weak Sell" is, usually "Strong Buy!"
