Wall Street Journal (May 14)

2010/ 05/ 14 by jd in Global News

The WSJ hopes Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations (NRSROs) will be eliminated. NRSROs include organizations such as S&P, Moody’s and Fitch which “put triple-A seals of approval on dubious securities at the heart of the financial panic.” In a promising development, a Senate amendment, which would eliminate NRSROs from U.S. laws and regulations, passed by 61-38.
