Hvað er með þetta Moody's matsfyrirtæki...

Var að rekast á gamla færslu, frá s.l. nóv. sem ég hafði ekki sett út, læt hana flakka nú óbreytta...

Hvað hefur þetta blessaða fyrirtæki með að gera að meta eftir sinni vissu hverju sinni hvernig hin og þessi fyrirtæki, stofnanir eða heilu löndin standi í lánshæfi og öðru. Hvað hangir á spítunni ! Hver tapar og hver græðir á einhverjum tölum á blaði ! Hvernig eru þeir að meta okkur ! Fyrirtækin okkar og landið okkar verðmæta...

Hvað eiga þeir með að gefa lægstu einkunn í lánshæfi? Er verið að lækka, svo á endanum komi hingað einhverjir erlendir risar og kaupi hin og þessi fyrirtæki og jafnvel stofnanir t.d OR til að komast hingað inn í landið með klærnar...Eru þeir eða einhverjir á þeirra snærum ekki bara að ásælast landið, byggð ból og auðlindir þess ?

 

Þetta gamla Moody's hefur bara verið eitthvað að trufla mig um töluvert langan tíma. Þoli ekki orðið hvernig öllu virðist enn vera stjórnað af einhverju neti talna sem mannleg öfl skapa og stjórna með á hinum ýmsu sviðum frá öllum hliðum...

Læt hér fylgja með einhverjar uppl. úr wikipedia.org um félagið...

Moody's Corporation (NYSE: MCO) is the holding company for Moody's Investors Service which performs financial research and analysis on commercial and government entities. The company also ranks the credit-worthiness of borrowers using a standardized ratings scale. The company has a 40% share in the world credit rating market.

Moody's was founded in 1909 by John Moody. Top institutional owners of Moody's include Berkshire Hathaway and Davis Selected Advisers.

Criticism

See also: Credit rating agency#CriticismCredit rating agencies such as Moody's have been subject to criticism in the wake of large losses in the Asset backed security collateralized debt obligation (ABS CDO) market that occurred despite being assigned top ratings by the CRAs. For instance, losses on $340.7 million worth of ABS collateralized debt obligations (CDO) issued by Credit Suisse Group added up to about $125 million, despite being rated Aaa by Moody's.^[6]

Abusive business practices

Moody's has also been accused of "blackmail". In one example the German insurer Hannover Re was offered a "free rating" by Moody's. The insurer refused. Moody's continued with the "free ratings", but over time lowered its rating of the company. Still refusing Moody's services, Moody's lowered Hannover's debt to junk, and the company in just hours lost $175 million in market value. ^[7]

"As the housing market collapsed in late 2007, Moody's Investors Service, whose investment ratings were widely trusted, responded by purging analysts and executives who warned of trouble and promoting those who helped Wall Street plunge the country into its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. A McClatchy investigation has found that Moody's punished executives who questioned why the company was risking its reputation by putting its profits ahead of providing trustworthy ratings for investment offerings." ^[8]
