Just think if you want to load and you have somebody at S&P to bash for you........
Oh yeah - just like the analyst from G Sachs that said oil was headed to $200 (oil price at the time was $130), that some have suggested may have been a ploy permitting some to off-load oil futures at the high.
Think it goes on? Some have suggested that there is a distinct probability that sort of thing goes on all the time.
