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
-50.78%
in

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< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< /><>...

|
|
|
Moody's Investor Service (MCO) analysts said on Monday that American International Group Inc. (AIG) will probably have the ability to fully repay the bailout money and buy back much of the government's stake in the company as it continues to stabilize its core insurance operations and progress on its restructuring plan.
AIG, which received about $180 billion of federal bailout including more than $80 billion in loans, has also been working for the last several quarters to sell assets and streamline its operations in an effort to repay the bailout money. U.S. taxpayers now own 80% of the comp...
