    the banks created their own hedge fund like vehicles
    called CDOs and alikes and sold it to customers who
    need a rating and think in basispoints. they created
    their own hedging vehicles in form of tranched credit
    indices like CDX and Itraxx. question: after the business
    model has been changing, what will be left from that
    era? is the substance of tranched credit strong enough
    to stay alive? my guess is yes, but i am not sure.

    i believe for the next year or two the potential buyer
    group has been imploded or is going to.
