    ...and Moodys and all the other shower. Who made these cnuts the kingmakers of the world? Being a credit rating agency today is the easiest job in the world, because its a total self fulfilling prophecy. You downgrade someone's credit rating, and by nature of doing so credit there automatically becomes slightly riskier. What a load of utter ****.

    It's almost as if 'financial services' is a pile of confidence tricksterish smoke & mirrors bullsh1t.

    Absolutely correct. A financial system built on rumour and speculation.

    You'd be better letting "thereev" handle things with his famous "double star naps".

    These are the people who gave Lehman Brothers a AAA rating just before the big collapse.
