Argos Posts: 6312 Incept: 2008-03-23 The Green Mountain State	Fitch Statement via Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/0.... Partial quote: Quote: . . . additional sizeable contribution to eurozone bail-out funds, on top of the EFSF guarantees, could push German debt level above 90% of GDP, close to the upper limit Fitch generally considers consistent with a 'AAA' rating. Materialisation of these risks would put downward pressure on the rating. It's kind of strange that Fitch should bother to declare this verdict five weeks before the German court intends to determine the legality of the ESM. I'm not sure what Fitch's game is here. 2012-08-08 10:01:59 Permalink

Asimov Posts: 103900 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time	No country with debt that high should be AAA. Hell, I'd put the limit somewhere around 25%. [Edit: No, scratch that. The fact that they're in debt shows that they have problems. AAA rating should == ZERO debt.] ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity. If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money. Especially what I say. I won't be held responsible. Festina lente.
