Well anyway FYI it would be illegal for Schachter to buy/sell any shares in a stock 10 days before to 10 days after making a public recommendation on it. Therefore it is highly unlikely he was involved it the large trading session as you have suggested.
I do agree with you in that analysts sometimes use their influence to their advantage but I don't think that is the case here.
