Thanks. Just bringing up the worst case, however unpleasant. I remember POG and POS getting sucked down at that time when they should have been safe havens. I remember being afraid to raise cash then because money market accounts were not yet covered by the FDIC.
Sadly, this S&P downgrade was a incompetence, just like their AAA ratings of toxic mortgage backed securities and high ratings for both Lehman and AIG. <ng>
