Moody's Threatens to Downgrade Spain!

The ratings agency, Moody's, has a reputation for showing up late to the party. But we're starting to wonder if their main reason for existence - with the lap dog compliance of the press-ecoblog cartel - is to occasionally test if there's any money still to be made from the repetition of a stale meme*.

From Bloomberg, today's Spain 10-year yield in the wake of this morning's warning. Yield up 10 bps from yesterday's close in first hour. Currently, 17 below highs.

*In our darker moments, this theory has them assisting parties in getting cleanly out of profitable positions.
