On “GM Turnaround Hits High Gear”cont’d #2

Q

Why haven’t S&P and Moody’s seen fit to reevaluate their ratings on GM bonds and debt? I know the average investor feels that a traditional, old-time corporation such as GM will never file Chapter 11, but as you said, no risk, no reward. Thanks for your great commentaries.

In my opinion the rating agencies have determined that they can’t be heroes but could be goats if something goes wrong. In the meantime, they are just making themselves irrelevant.
