NEW YORK -- A Goldman Sachs analyst removed Best Buy Co. from a list of preferred stocks on Monday and said the electronics retailer faces stronger competition from online and mass market retailers.

Analyst Matthew J. Fassler removed Best Buy ( BBY - news - people ) from the Americas Buy List and now has a "Neutral" rating on the stock.

While the company will gain business from Circuit City  ( CC -  news  -  people ), which went bankrupt earlier this year, Fassler said competition will be significant starting in 2010, especially from online competitors, such as Amazon.com Inc.  ( AMZN -  news  -  people ), and mass market retailers. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.  ( WMT -  news  -  people ), for example, has upgraded its brands and presentation, Fassler said.

"Electronics are well-suited to e-commerce given their information intensity," Fassler wrote in a client note. "The Web is a good source of insight on new and complex products."

Fassler also said that Amazon prices its products competitively, especially in televisions when compared to Best Buy.

Fassler's price target is now $43, from $41 previously, which implies shares have room to rise 5.7 percent from Friday's close of $39.75.

The bands biggest ever hit this side of the world and a major set piece of almost every show is not filler.

As for the that list of filler on "Metallica", refer to page 1 for that Hefield interview and add "Holier Than Now".

I'll trade...

Montel Vontavious Porter for Shad

and

Evan Bourne for JTG

Badmotorfinger
