Assurant (AIZ Quote) downgraded at Wachovia to Market Perform. Estimates also cut, as the company is facing multiple headwinds this year.Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF Quote) upgraded to buy from hold and price target increased to $35 from $22 at Jefferies. Expecting continued near-term sales/margin pressure, earnings revision cycle has reached a trough. With Street estimates down big, sentiment already negative, compares easing in 2H09/'10, and a war chest of cash, risk/reward is favorable (Upside +40%/Downside ~10%).
