Life is a risk and it's better to take risks than to do nothing, you can't always expect to make huge profits all the time, people have so many opinions about a recession/depression. In just 5 months my portfolio grew by $300,000 in gross profit, the main thing is to expand your portfolio and you will see amazing results by investing

    MahanFan1 You may be right. I am not an expert, and perhaps you are. But an intuitive account would be that it is problematic for a rating agency to say that there is little risk associated with highly leveraged and complex organizations that they don’t understand. Is your point that the ratings agencies can just trust market to correctly price risk? This may sound very naive, but the periodic crashes and volatility of the market makes me skeptical that the market is all that wise (even if investors are “sophisticated”). Or maybe u mean something else?
