Just go to moodys.com, register and search for "bottom rung." You can download the list for free.

Why make a list if no one has a list. Why even mention it at all

my guess is that you have to pay for it because of the hundreds of links you get on moodys bottom rung they all list a few or highlight a sector but the complete list is nowhere to be found.

Difficulty in finding it

That's anathema to the Web platform. One would think that posting a link to the list itself would be a no-brainer, but so far (at least) not a single source that I could find has done so -- and yet the list itself is of critical interest. It's enough to certainly warrant a story about it, but not enough to post what the story's about. Sad. Really sad.

Uh, hello... Can't find the list anywhere.

Responsible reporting should include the actual list... no?

Moody's is going to NOW start doing what it should have been doing for the last 100 years? How refreshing.
