The ratings agency just put GM on credit watch negative, though it "believes [the company] has adequate liquidity for the rest of 2008."

I predict North American auto sales will be down last July.

What are the barriers to entry for creating a ratings agency, seems like this could be a fantastic opportunity? I know its a ridiculous suggestion, but what about a government sponsored ratings agency, that operates under the auspices of the federal reserve and is thus semi immune from politics.

@5, please don't talk with your mouth full.

dis has all the parks and you can't get a room. I know I've been trying, they are all booked up. And, HS Musical is coming out.

7 Please elaborate. DIS is an expensive place - for what it is. If folks decide to turn thrifty (and move off site or not go at all), those reservations can get cancelled real quickly.

Best comment of the day (that I've read)...sadly thats about how it works over there, sheesh!

@7 - see if AIG had any upcoming events booked at DIS. If so, that space will free up.

#9, you are forgetting their time share. People have to use the points, they will in all probability use them in the parks.

What song do we play when the market drops more than 500 points.
Well let me tell you.

now this post is downright frightening"
"this is not a technical market.... it is broken, and suffering from systemic collapse.... value , liquitity, debt, have all been corrupted, thats why billions and billions fed pumps in has no effect.....graphs, charts, and every technical judgement is garbage....the fed will eventually suspend trading, and completely take over the show....and create a new temporary language for exchanging goods and services.. everythings a myth in this landscape. the fed has to create order"

If a meteor struck the building that houses the rating agencies, the Dow would rally 1,000 pts.

Yea, good idea, what could be more immune from politics than a government affiliated agency?
Posted by Anal_yst , Oct 09, 2008 5:36PM
@ 4/18
Or just mandating that ratings agencies have to go back to a subscription model instead of an issuer/underwriter fee model would work, but yea, that's way too simple so that'll never happen

I hope GM fails. American automakers only really excell in the SUV and truck markets. Screw american automakers. I feel Japan is very superior in things like fuel economy, durability, and value. I think Germany and Britain are superior in luxury and I think Italy and Germany are superior in performance. Stupid American automakers and their unions. Damn, I am disgusted by blue color jobs and the people that perform those jobs.
