BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- One of the more candid analysts tracking Wall Street is sticking with his buy rating on Lehman Brothers... the embattled investment bank planning to lay off as many as 1,500 employees...

Chief Executive Richard Fuld is also said to be facing an internal rebellion...

'This saga is not likely to continue much longer. Since I believe the result will be a positive one,' Bove said, even though markets are expecting "dismal" results for the fiscal third quarter, which ends Aug. 31. End of Story

reflections:
The attempt at deception is unbelievable, Bove thinks we're stupid. He tried to entice investors into buying Lehman stocks with only a "I believe the results will be a positive one...", he could've done better than that. Not even the dumb money would swallow that up.

Lehman Brothers is f&*$ed, and Bove's handlers want to dump the stock, it would be great if some uninformed investors decide to make the investment off the above propaganda for a nice rally to sell off from. There's some truth.
