Cha, sorry you misunderstood my question.

It is not how long I (or any other trader) should hold a stock but when on, for example, Market Moves, on the Business Channel or in the Eureka Report they say something like:

Macquarie has upgraded their rating on XYZ Iron to a Buy with a target of $3.50.
or
JP Morgan has downgraded their rating on BHP to a Hold with a target of $48.50

My question is over what period of time do they expect these stocks to reach these targets? Do they expect them to get there in a week, a month, 6 months ....?

Thanks.
