  1. The vendetta against S&P, part II

    WASHINGTON -- My last column on the federal suit against the bond-rating rating agency Standard & Poor's drew some critical reactions that are worth sharing with readers. In the column, I argued that S&P, which badly erred in rating bonds tied to home mortgages, was being made a scapegoat for the financial crisis. As is well-known, this crisis -- with some exceptions -- was not foreseen by government officials, economists or bankers. S&P's sins, I wrote, stemmed more from this over-optimism than from a deliberate effort to mislead markets.

  2. The vendetta against S&P

    WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration's suit against the rating agency Standard & Poor's makes for riveting headlines and lousy history. We want to blame the financial crisis and Great Recession on greed and dishonesty. The charge that S&P rigged bond ratings for its own gain -- providing artificially high ratings on the mortgage-backed securities that inflated the credit bubble -- fits this self-serving morality tale. The discomforting reality is that the financial collapse resulted from an extended period of prosperity, which led to weakened credit standards and inspired wishful thinking about the permanence of economic growth.

  4. Is S&P to blame?

    Federal and state prosecutors sued the credit rating agency Standard & Poor's this week for allegedly defrauding investors by giving inflated ratings to complex mortgage-backed securities that proved all but worthless after the housing bubble burst. The cases raise difficult questions about the freedom to express an opinion without being held liable if it's wrong. Nevertheless, it's worth exploring whether S&P and its rivals deliberately soft-pedaled how risky those securities were in order to boost their bottom lines.
