First of all all 3 ratings agencies violated the law when that where publicly speculating during the debt-ceiling kabuki theater. The law prohibits them from giving a rating until they have done an analysis. Pretty hard to do an analysis when you don't know what the final legislation is going to be.

Secondly, mortgage backed securities where rated AAA ...how did that where out? Some AAA MBS experienced 80% default rates within 90 days of being given that rating!


Their corporate charters should be revoked.

WERE.  Repeat after me.  WERE.  Not where.


Sorry, I usually don't go anal on people for spelling but I seriously felt like I had gone full retard trying to read your post.

You can't help if you are non-native and using language with idiotic and archaic spelling system...


How well do you expect current goverment to handle this issues with theater we saw last weeks, utter carelessness about country and just thinking thinks would go on like they have...

I truly was not expecting this. It would be interesting to understand the politics behind the move.

Is this the same company that rated all those bad home loans AAA?

That was Moody's... Which kept the Aaa rating.

Cheers,
Kermee

Both companies rated bad come loans as much better then they were.  So yes, it is the same company.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked trading volatility, so I wrote an option, on your ETF, that's backed by futures, written on an index, whose value is derived from options, on stocks, within another index.

Seriously though, it exists. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=VIXY

Credit agencies should be shutdown because people don't like their opinion. They should probably be tried for treason as well.

Interesting, honestly i didn't expect they would get downgraded out of self interest.

Self interest for whom? You realize that all this means is that the government will be giving more money to the banks in interest.

So I guess people still tune in to the theatrics that is politics. I stopped paying attention a long time ago when I realized it was all just a show to keep people staring at the fire and not the real issues.

Apparently people who want to limit government spending are now officially domestic terrorists.

Now the US will bribe them to raise their credit rating to an AAA, and fall deeper into debt.  Cool
