== History of Moody'sHistoria ==
 
Moody's fue fundada en 1909 por John Moody, después de haber quebrado en el crac de la bolsa de 1907 no haciendo frente a sus deudas. A partir de "Analyses of Railroad Investments", un libro sobre los valores de vías férreas, con calificaciones de letras para evaluar su riesgo.<ref name=WP231104/> Moody's Investors Service se incorporó el 1 la cobertura a los bonos municipales de EE.UU. En 1924, las calificaciones de Moody's cubrían casi el 100 por ciento del mercado de bonos de EE.UU.<ref name=hist/>
Moody's Corporation traces its history back to two publishing companies established by [[John Moody (financial analyst)|John Moody]], the inventor of modern [[bond credit rating]]s. It was first published in 1900 by [[John Moody (financial analyst)|John Moody]], nine years before he founded Moody's Corporation. Initially called ''Moody's Manual of Industrial and Miscellaneous Securities'', it was later superseded by ''Moody's Manual of Railroads and Corporation Securities'', then by ''Moody's Analyses of Investments''.<ref>{{cita web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/money/story/2010/05/13/f-ratings-agencies.html|título=Debt rating alphabet soup can spell disaster|fechaacceso=13 de junio de 2010|autor=Evans, Peter|fecha=13 de mayo de 2010|editorial=CBC}}</ref><ref>{{cita web|url=http://www.businessweek.com/news/2009-12-23/buffett-sells-moody-s-stock-for-sixth-time-since-july-update2-.html|título=Buffett Sells Moody’s Stock for Sixth Time Since July (Update2)|fechaacceso=13 de junio de 2010|autor=Frye, Andrew; Leising, Matthew|fecha=23 de diciembre de 2009|editorial=Bloomberg}}</ref>

According to Moody's, the purpose of its ratings is to "provide investors with a simple system of gradation by which future relative creditworthiness of securities may be gauged". To each of its ratings from Aa through Caa, Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3; the lower the number, the higher-end the rating.
