(NASDAQ:AAPL), First Data (FDC) and ASM International (ASMI) top today's extensive downgrade list. </p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Apple</strong> was downgraded to Hold from Buy at Citigroup, citing valuation and the unlikely introduction of the new video iPod before the holiday season. </li>
    <li><strong>First Data</strong> was downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at J.P. Morgan based on valuation and expectations of a Q3 miss. </li>
    <li>CIBC downgraded <strong>ASM International</strong> to Sector Performer from Sector Outperform based on checks that indicated Intel (INTC) is pushing out adoption of ASMI's atomic layer disposition tool for high-k at 45mn. They note a delay would be positive for Applied Materials (AMAT). </li>
</ul>
<p><strong> OTHER DOWNGRADES:</strong> </p>
<ul>
    <li>Due to the change in management and lowered guidance, both Credit Suisse and KeyBanc/McDonald downgraded IT service provider <strong>Keane</strong> (KEA). </li>
    <li>ThinkEquity downgraded <strong>CryptoLogic</strong> (CRYP) to Source of Funds from Accumulate based on the ratification of the Internet gambling bill that will impact earnings. </li>
    <li><strong>Boston Beer</strong> (SAM) was downgraded to Neutral from Overweight on valuation. </li>
    <li><strong>USA Truck</strong> (USAK) was downgraded by Stephens to Underweight from Equal Weight, citing a less certain 2007 trucking environment and the recent stock offering.</li>
</ul>
