...Additionally, freshman Holly Cao rebounded from early-season injuries to post an impressive 7-1 record. The Crimson attributes its success to playing as a team and collectively reaching toward the same goal, despite the many notable individual performances.“Holly has been great a role model for us…she definitely leads by example,” Rosekrans said. “Still, everyone is just doing their share. No one sees it as a competition…everyone is on the same page and that has been really helpful.”Perhaps where...
...Moody’s, like rival firms Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Fitch, Inc., follows a “corporation-paid” model, in which the corporation issuing a security pays for Moody’s to rate that security. This creates a conflict of interest. Since rating agencies want to keep a steady flow of business, they have good reason to overrate securities and make their customers—the issuers—happy. Indeed, rating agencies in the past have given collaborative feedback to issuers to such an extent, some argue, that their ratings...

In fact, by 1970, ratings from Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch had become such an important part of bringing securities to market that Moody’s felt it necessary to capitalize on the “market access?...
...Wall Street Journal, many credit-rating agencies intend to use the constitutional right to free speech as a defense against upcoming litigation cases. While this may be juridical truth, and a clever defense, conflicts of interest and careless behavior will remain even under the old, investor-paid model. All the regulators can do is continue to effectively cooperate with rating agencies, working to create a better—albeit imperfect—system...
