i did not know that, thanks just in in-tray, from one pen pal who uses no capitals quote Egan Jones - the only independent ratings agency (i.e. not paid by the debt issuers, but only by investors) rates ABK and MBI a still generous BB-. this bond insurance problem can't be wished away...imo it will return to haunt the markets. a number of banks are now reportedly working on a bail-out plan, but one of the problems with this is that they are strapped for capital themselves. whoever 'shores up' the insurers will end up eating their coming losses after all. so there's a good chance that this plan goes the way of the 'super SIV' in the end. unquote
