Important Stock rating Changes:
Microsoft Corp (Nasdaq:MSFT) DonHarrold.Net Rating: Weak Sell http://www.donharrold.net/ratings/US/MSFT.php Finisar Corporation (Nasdaq:FNSR) DonHarrold.Net Rating: Buy http://www.donharrold.net/ratings/US/FNSR.php Altria Group Inc (NYSE:MO) DonHarrold.Net Rating: Weak Buy http://www.donharrold.net/ratings/US/MO.php Dow Chemical Co (NYSE:DOW) DonHarrold.Net Rating: Sell http://www.donharrold.net/ratings/US/DOW.php
A "Weak Sell" stock rating means I think MSFT 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 "Strong Buy"!
