Can anyone explain to me why it is that the three ratings agencies compete for assets to rate?
I don't really understand why the companies get to choose a ratings agency.

Ratings agencies will have to become more transparent...meaning that the agencies that weren't strict on ratings will be burned...and other agencies can fill the spots.

Ratings agencies should follow the path of Public Accounting firms who provide financial statement audits. Post Enron, and the fall of Arthur Anderson, there have been increasing regulations like Sarbanes Oxley that have improved the reliability of audits provided by public accounting companies, even though its the clients that are paying these accounting firms to provide the audit and the public accounting firms are competing against one another for business

To succed we have to think positive, if rating agencies are in market for number of years that means something is good or bad in it. Because it is created by human beings.it always be their at every time when ever we develop a product like apple iphone .

I avoid "high yield bonds," I also avoid most of the "investment grade bonds,"....my "bonds" tend to be TVA's or gas LP's.....Ginnie Maes are good...but the yields are kinda low.

[@mootant]

@cantroos that obviously proves how regulators failed by making idiotic regulations. Free market will get the blame.
