...treatment of the young synergettes makes Making the Band look like a Bill Moyers special; it cheerfully depicts its women as a hungry, hardworking pop juggernaut in leather pants, portraying them with all the hard-nosed pugnaciousness of a Tiger Beat cover. Producers Scott A. Stone and David G. Stanley say there simply hasn't been much fighting or failure to show among the final five members, though Stanley also says, "We sold this as a show that would be relentlessly upbeat...

And both now concede the obvious: they were too slow to downgrade dozens of stocks. Their bullishness in the face of impending disaster has riveted attention on the analyst's role across Wall Street. It's not a pretty picture...
...three to five years before tech stocks dazzle again. Too many investors bought tech near the top, and they'll be selling into rallies for years, he says. Further, the tech-spending slowdown is gaining momentum. "A decline in IT spending by big companies like GE and Morgan Stanley hasn't even happened yet. It's going to," Biggs says...
