Sovereign Credit of Spain and Greece Downgraded ... Who's Next?
Standard & Poors stripped Spain of its AAA sovereign credit rating today.
Greece got downgraded on January 14th.
Ireland is on the watch list and - given its severe financial problems - might be next. Portugal is also on S&P's watch list.
America may not be far behind either, although it might be exerting severe political pressure on the rating agencies to maintain the status quo.
