Yes Hutch and we are all going to be making a beehive for the C dollar pretty soon? It has less risk right? I don't know which dollar Hutch but perhaps all business climates and hence dollars are in for a down turn. Rue to those that are pumping at this time. From: Grace A.

Moreover, it could begin to rise considering the Federal Reserve's recent message of caution to banks and the unfavorable payment experience already recorded by Coface." Coface said that the group will downgrade the credit rating of the United State if bankruptcies and lack of payments rise further and if the U.S. economy continues to decline. The group's country risk-rating service measures the average corporate payment default risk in 140 countries. In a review published at the end of last week, Coface placed the United States, Japan, Taiwan and Brazil on a watch list with "negative implications," while Israel, Argentina and Turkey were all downgraded. Coface added in its review statement that the payment risks were highest for those dealing with U.S. companies in the technology and telecommunications sectors. The group also said, however, that "the distribution sector and traditional manufacturing industries (steel, textile, stationery) are also vulnerable to bankruptcies, especially as their restructuring is not yet complete." -- Copyright 2001 by United Press International.
