Among other things, I was a corporate bond trader in my youth, and though I left that career many years ago, I have maintained an almost hypnotic interest in Wall Street, in general.

I have blogged on my own sit, http://ProteanPerspectives.blogspot.com,

for months about Bear, specifically, and the entire credit market fiasco, in general.

I myself had problems understanding exactly what these new derivative investments were, how they worked, what was their purpose.

Your article has moved my knowledge thereof up multiple pegs. Congratulations for providing this information, and to the folks at WashingtonIndependent.com for publishing it.

It sure helped me.
