MOST NOTEWORTHY: Fiserv, Arbitron and Anadarko Petroleum were today's noteworthy upgrades:
- JMP Securities upgraded Fiserv (NASDAQ: FISV) to Outperform from Market Perform citing a reversal of the Bank of America in-house risk, potential re-branding initiatives, and relative pricing stability.
- Bear upgraded Arbitron (NYSE: ARB) to Outperform from Peer Perform citing PPM earnings growth potential, strong industry position, defensive nature of shares, and it views the company as an acquisition target.
- Lehman raised Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC) to Overweight from Equal Weight citing relative valuation and strong U.S. gas exposure.

IMHO Lehman missed the correct oil company reccomendation by a mile!!! Devon Energy has got more going for it than APA, APC, CHK, or any of the other companies..i.e largest gas production company in U.S., 90 % of oil and gas production is in U.S. and Canada. But is in a very attractive E and P position in Azerbijan, Brazil, and China. Analysts are predicting the share price will reach $ 150 by year's end. I started buying their shares back when they were in the mid to upper $ 40s. Have done well and highly reccomend the stock for all who want to make $$$. Regards..William Partain
