Re: RFC: Exploring Technical Debt

It'll be interesting to see if you can integrate terms like these in to your model :):

collateralized debt obligations
Liquidity Enhancement Vehicles
illiquidity crunch
systemic use of 'asset-backed commercial paper' to paper over the ever-widening sink-holes caused by off-the-balance-sheet, obscure, opaque and highly complex inestment vehicles
And my favorite from the last year of headlines: debt crash dummies!

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Whoa! And what about "Technical Default Swaps"? That would be scary...	[reply]

Don't forget "Liars Loans" and "Interest only payments" as well. I would think "Liar Loans" would be an easier item to integrate because it implies several things.	[reply]

"Interest only payments" has been 80% of the work I've done in the last five years. :( Few ~~managers~~ persons seems to understand how important it is to pay down the principal.	[reply]
