The Bear Stearns employees will be fine - they will take a little time off and find other jobs.

All the nasty gloating by some losers on this thread reveals much about their crypto-Marxist, anti-business mentality is for naught.

But you, ASD, bring up an important point - the ratings agencies suffer from a fundamental flaw in their business model: they are paid to assess the creditworthiness of the people who are paying them.

Don't forget that it's likely that the 240 laid off are support staff, new hires, etc. Makes the gloating particularly misplaced.

Sounds like sour grapes of a loan broker, blaming all those nasty people for wrecking the frau.., the 'business model'. Cheese with that whine?
