Thanks ~protege, As suggested in the article the rating may have less of an effect on what traders are willing to pay for a stock right now. The credit rating reflect more about debt levels and their ability to service them as opposed to organic growth in their business. As you noted a lot of them are near their lows. The rate may be more of a factor as their businesses turn around as they will be able to finance expansion. The last few year triple A usual has meant slow growth.
