1) If Pachter starts it, other analysts will pick up on it and start repeating it. That filters down, and eventually you have sales frozen because people are waiting for a price cut that Microsoft wasn't planning on, which leads to...
2) A price cut happens out of necessity, making Pachter's declaration a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I know that analysis is what the guy does, so I can't fault him for it too badly. Making a prediction based on numbers, trends and history is his job. Still, it's a little irresponsible.
pachter is a moron. plain and simple. i am tired of reading about him, quite frankly.
