Asimov, you've gotta stop looking at how news releases affect the price action. The market almost always knows what will happen before the news comes out so its almost always priced in. Of course there are exceptions from actual surprises, but they fairly rare.

A sell-the-rumor-buy-the-news price action is pretty typical for rating downgrades as the market is already well aware of what is going to be announced.

This was talked about from early morning in Europe. If it comes as a surprise to you, you better get a new source of information. In fact, the first time i heard the rumblings was in the States on Wednesday evening...but it had the wrong name (Eagon) associated with it.

Just to reiterate - the market doesn't wait for "announcements." Just like the Greek election the other night - the market wasn't waiting for some official announcement of who won. It already knew way before polling closed.

Making trading decisions based on news announcements is not a very wise investment/trading strategy, IMHO.
