A Detour Into Upgrades and Downgrades

In this Market Foolery podcast segment, host Mac Greer, Total Income's Ron Gross, and Motley Fool Pro and Options' Jeff Fischer take a detour into an area The Motley Fool usually shuns -- the realm of analysts' upgrades and downgrades. Why do we avoid covering them? Because for the most part, they don't mean as much as people want them to, and the team will explain why.

A full transcript follows the video.
