Coast Savings Ratings Lowered: In yet another sign of the impact of weakening real estate markets, Moody’s Investors Service said it lowered ratings on about $330 million of long-term debt of Coast Savings Financial, the Los Angeles-based parent of Coast Savings Bank. Moody’s said the downgrade reflected additional loan-loss reserves taken by Coast for its loan and foreclosed real estate portfolios.
