My good friend and ContraryInvesting.com favorite Jonathan Lederer published his analysis of the US debt downgrade fiasco for his clients, and was kind enough to let me republish for you here. I agree his points, especially #’s 1 and 5…the chart of Japanese rates continuing to pancake after their downgrade is quite an ode to the powers of deflation!

Standard & Poor’s (S&P) announced early Friday evening that it downgraded U.S. sovereign debt from AAA (highest possible rating) to AA+. Since that time, I have observed much scaremongering in the mainstream media. I therefore felt compelled to share my thoughts as they pertain to the investment implications of S&P’s action.
