"S&P said to place all 17 euro nations on rating downgrade watch"

lol - what a crock of bullshit - isn't that part of their job?

it's either a downgrade or it isn't - what's the f***ing "watch" all about?

what is it , like that movie , the men who stare at goats or something? Like , I'm gonna "watch" France till they buckle , till they can't stand any more watching - we're gonna watch them till they fall over the precipice - We are the mighty S&P - we're gonna watch you all till the money in your pockets turns to dust
Maybe this is their version of the shake down. You know, you kidnap somebody's kid... you need to give them some time to get the money together. If you shoot the kid right away, you will have pissed them off and you don't get paid.

Besides, these rating businesses live off of PR. And this is a pretty massive dose of PR. So they are better off spreading it over several events. That way they have more impact.

about a month ago France came out on a downgrade. then it was detracted. France downgraded didn't magically appear on a news-feed puter. someone had to take the time to type it. someone with power got the rating agency to detract it. at least for the time being, then. w/o France there is no e-bond.

Speaking strictly theoretically of course. I am watching a movie about a kidnapped kid right now. I was suggesting that they are holding the credit ratings of the countries for ransom was the reason behind the two step approach of "watch" then "downgrade".

sure I can dig that, but still thought we would be lower, anyway doesnt matter, for now I watch 3363/76.. with it holding a restest of the highs is still something I consider, on a solid brake of it however I'll look for 3278...
