Credit Rating Downgrade Roundup: Credit Scores, Link love and More!
Posted: August 8th, 2011 | Author: Joe | Filed under: Blogging | No Comments »First, I want to extend a big thank-you to those carnival hosts who saw fit to feature my post explaining how and why I added gold to my IRA. :
My Wealth Builder featured my post in The Wealth Builder Carnival #45, and The Skilled Investor included me in his Carnival of Financial Planning – Edition #194 – July 22, 2011. A very public thanks for the inclusion, and please check out those blogs – you never know when you’ll find a great new read to add to your feedreader. 
Now on to the link love..
Here are some interesting credit-based reads I thought I’d share, since the historic S&P downgrade of U.S. debt to “negative”.
First up, The Wisdom Journal has a reminder of the importance of your personal credit score but also provides a great list of Credit Rating by Country that you may find interesting.
“Mish” Shedlock details how France’s AAA rating may be at risk after the U.S. was downgraded, as well as the race to the bottom in currency value that most developed nations seem to be engaging in.
Joe Plemon discusses Vantage Scores vs. FICO scores vs. Dave Ramsey.
Tress Full of Money has a thought provoking piece on The Irony of Credit Rating Agencies Downgrading US Government Debt.
And lastly, I found an Interesting argument for multiple credit cards on My Money Blog.
Happy reading, and stay safe out there in the credit rating war zone!
