I'll guess the 7th or 8th inning for insolvencies. The way I see it the big dealer banks were stuck with a few quarters of toxic securities they couldn't sell to the saps. Hopefully we're through the death cases caused by this unsold inventory or at least it's parked in a lead vault at the NY Fed.

The Lehman call today was truly impressive - Fuld really laid out the numbers - basically opened the books. Schwartz and Greenburg (a couple days before) lied and died.

The Vix collapse today says to me we can get back to the easy stuff now - liquidity troubles (Bear collapse was beyond a liquidity issue), weak earnings, recession, etc.. :)

Still though, I worry about a HF collapse. If I have it right, they can't borrow from the NY Fed.
