Were whispers about this the reason the market cratered today?

If Morgan Stanley finds itself with a three notch downgrade, it will be staring right in the face of a required $10 billion margin call. That’s 1/3 of their market cap. I love the smell of annihilation in the afternoon.

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

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.

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