Today's Wall Street Journal writes "Vanguard Slams SEC's Rating Proposals", which discusses opposition to the SEC's July 1 proposal to remove ratings from Rule 2a-7, the regulations governing money market funds. (See our August 18 article, "Vanguard Strongly Opposes Eliminating Credit Ratings From Rule 2a-7".) WSJ says, "The most significant portion of the proposals would make it possible for U.S. money-market funds to invest in short-term debt without regard to ratings put on those securities by firms such as Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings."
