If you know anybody who works for S&P ......
 

Please give them a kick in the nutz and tell them Mark said Hi!

Better yet I'll drag 'em by the nuts behind my car MYSELF, dirty bastards.

It's not their fault.

:iagree: The S&P gave fair warning, the .gov didn't take it seriously. :yesnod:

Over one trillion lost in the market today.

I don't know why anyone pays any attention to those assholes. What in the hell have that got right in the last 10 years? They have missed all the big scams and failures as far back as ENRON. They are a board made up of a few dozen morangs who have no more idea what's happening than anyone else on Wall Street. :leaving:

Who gave them that much power?

:iagree: Was listening to D. Trump on CNN this morning and he said basically the same thing. Why anyone listens to these morons is something I don't understand.

The people that pay them for their "ratings".

As painful as this will be, the downgrade was long overdue. Hopefully Washington figures this out quickly.

Enron - Miss
Mortgage Companies - Miss
Lehman Bros - Miss
European weaknesses - Miss

BTW, the people who are pissed at S&P are the Chinese. So many bought securities today it drove the yields down:rofl:

That will make their false devaluation of their currency w/r/t the dollar more expensive now.

:iagree: Absolutely friggin right.....They are NEVER right......Tomorrow when the market is 200 down, will be the best buying opportunity in over a year.

Congratulations: John Boehner Got 98% of What He Wanted ... so I guess we should be happy with 2% :hump:

WTF does this have to do with this thread?

Or reality for that matter
