An Interesting Gibson Read....
Here ya go...
"Moody’s is giving a shout out to anyone who owns Gibson Brands’ corporate debt and letting them know that they consider the creditworthiness of the company as a whole (not just a specific bond) has gone from junk to a little junkier junk due to the fact that they’re outta cash and owe a lot of money to other people.
Oh, and things look like they’ll get worse."

Hmmm, not surprising, but not really what I wanted to hear.
Better get those DH's while we can.

Too long winded and annotated for me.

Re: An Interesting Gibson Read....
How much of "Gibson Brands" is the stuff of interest around here? Beyond mandolins, I mean, which are understandable a microdot of the business....
Any idea of how much of the debt is related to Philips, TEAC and Onkyo?

Enough political comments. Pretty sure everyone is getting enough of that in their hourly diet 24/7. If you can't keep it off the forum move on to somewhere else. We'll tolerate no more.
