REPORT: MASSIVE MOODY'S BANK DOWNGRADES TO HIT IN A FEW MINUTES
Business Insider ^ | 06/21/2012 | Eric Platt

Posted on 06/21/2012 1:32:22 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Moody's Ratings is set to downgrade the world's largest banks at 4 p.m., according to new reports out of CNBC.

The network says sources tell it Citi, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs will be hit with two notch downgrades. Bank of America is expected to be cut one notch by Moody's.

Morgan Stanley, which is also on the list of banks Moody's said it would take action against, is said to be downgraded as well.

Nine European banks are expected to be included in the downgrade, which earlier reports noted would include Barclay's, UBS, HSBC, Lloyd's, and RBS.

In a way I’m kinda glad to see it. Perhaps this will further open the eyes of the ‘every problem has a racist cause’ crowd. Only pain seems to do that for them.

Fraud? Oh I totally believe that. The stress tests (snicker) were just words for public consumption. Pretty much like everything out of the Dem/Socialists/Communists mouths. But now they are stuck.

Chickens roosting and all that. I am not happy for the people about to get it in the shorts, but to me, anyone with sense would have exited the market a LONG time ago.

But play with fire...and get burned.

Doesn’t seem to affect Wells Fargo. REIT’s took a hit.

—Were whispers about this the reason the market cratered today?—

HAHAHA!

Duh.

;-)

I confess I had to go back to my.yahoo to see what happened today. I don’t believe in coincidences regarding things like this. No insider trading though, Nope, nope, nope.

We’ve been throwing away millions, and billions, and trillions for so long.... “They” have us ordinaries thinking there is a bottomless pit of millions, and billions, and trillions, somewhere!
MAYBE, if we could actually see SOMEBODY actually crash and burn, we ordinaries could get perspective on what’s happening, some real life connection or sense of actual worth of these vast amounts of dollars.
None of us could play these games with a few thousand dollars, and not be in jail.

Silver’s tanking too. I wonder if this is another rush to the dollar sort of thing.

Yeah, now Moody's does this. Where were they in early 2008 when the exact same conclusions could have been drawn?

I thought BOA had already filed some reorganization plan or had some other restructuring effort going on...

Not exactly true.

Lehman Brothers untouched also. ;)
