14:31 03/02/2012 Re: Best Of The Brokers
Not necessarily - all brokers have their own guidelines, but for at least some, the target has to imply at least 10% downside to move to a SELL, and at their time of writing, it was less than this. The same would be true with BUY recommendations, ie. at least 10% upside.

It may also reflect an overall market view, eg. expecting the index to fall from current levels.

But recommendations are also often affected by political considerations. Most brokers will tell you that their actual recommendations are one of the least important things they do - certainly, price targets have taken on greater relevance, but even then, many don't take them too seriously and very few brokers are appraised on their recommendation / price target record.
