[QUOTE="AAA rating gone, post: 281757"] There are many great companies out there with less than a AAA rating? Huh? The likes of ENRON etc maybe? An AAA rating means a lot. It puts a company into the Miss America contest, where everyone is beautiful. Having a strong balance sheet DOES decrease the stock value. The companies survival has just acquired an increased risk. Having a weaker balance sheet also increases the rate at which UPS borrows. The lowering of UPS' AAA rating makes them an ugly contestant. The stock is worth less and the cost of money goes up. Scott knows that. If he doesn't then he should be outed before he is ever inned. The rating change is a VERY BAD THING. Sell however much you can. The stock price is flatlined. [/QUOTE]
