The California School Budget cuts alone are reason to expect negative sales growth, not to mention every other state in the union as well as a lagging Standard and Poors.

McGraw-Hill, parent company of Standard & Poor's, is going to have their hands full getting to the bottom of the current ratings scandal. Looks like Moody's may have some problems and who would imagine that during the earlier part of this decade S&P could be competitive without adopting the same dumb (and possibly fraudulent) rating criteria in order to win business. With all of the uncertainty surrounding S&P I'll play it safe and give its parent a big, fat UNDERPERFORM until further notice.
