Sean Egan: Debt Ceiling Threat Is 'Manageable'
As policymakers race to fix the U.S.'s fiscal woes, Sean Egan of Egan-Jones Rating Co. argues the problem can be fixed.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it found the firm said it had rated certain securities since 1995 on its registration application, even though the firm had not issued such ratings before filing its application in 2008.

The firm neither admitted nor denied the findings, but agreed to the 18-month bar, the SEC said.
