I agree with what I've read about Moody's. They continues to make mistakes and the brand has been hit hard. Buffett leaving does wonders to many jumping off the bandwagon. If it ain't good enough for Warren count me out

Moody's is doing all kinds of stupid things which put it in the limelight. The obvious is the horrendous misjudgement of risk on mortgage-related securities which has caused everything from insurance companies to teachers pension funds to lose plenty in their midguided un-researched speculations. While I don't blame Moody's like the rest of the world, that's a minority view. The madness of the crowd wants blook apparently. Moody's stands as the marquee brand name taking all the poop in the face, so they are at the forefront of the public focus. With all the negative headline risk, y...

<> Yes, they have been beaten up. So have their peers. Yes, the Government is breathing down their neck. Still, they are a dominate player in an industry with few players and their margins are just great. Their net margin is 30.7% according to Morningstar. This stock is not for the faint of heart, but once we get through this time of trouble, they will still be rating, people will still care what their opinions are, and they will still be able to charge a great deal of money for their services. Even if the stock recovers to only the 40's or 50's (compared to a price in the 70's before t<>...

I noticed in a recent poll that Obama is favored over McCain to win the election. <> I decided to investigate what Obama's America might look like. One bullet I noticed was Obama's reaction to the credit crisis. Specifically, Obama vows to investigate how Moody's along with Standard & Poor's are paid by issuers of securities to make decisions on the stabilility and sentiment of credit ratings. Fitch, although guilty by association, saved some face by standing up to MBIA. The worst-case scenario is to regulate with limits on revenues generated, or other incentives credit ratings firms<><><><><><><><><>...

Moody's Makes It's Excuses to Congress
MCO

Moody’s (MCO) made the requisite trip to Congress for the requisite spanking and reprimands. Michael Kanef Group Managing Director testified in front of the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing Urban Affairs.
Moody’s is saying that they cannot smell the financial BS that issuers and interested parties can serve up. They are also saying that unless people stop lying to them they will continue to be unable to identify the terrible odour of BS.
The role of rating agencies will be debated for a long time. But if Moody’s feels that they have been lied to and have been unwit< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< /><>...

<>U.S. stocks posted modest gains Friday even as a surprisingly weak jobs report failed to deter investors from taking a broader view that the economy is improving. Analysts’ upgrade of General Electric and Amazon.com helped the market keep its head above water as many on the Street averred the worst for the labor market was over.
