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...

Moody's Makes It's Excuses to Congress Graphic_rating_buy 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< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< /><>...
