A municipality has gone bankrupt. What does this do to the municipal bond market - the supposedly good half of Ambac and other bond insurers? What does this do to Ambac? And what will Ambac do to the stock market?

This is what I've been waiting for. The bond insurance business will not truly blow up until we start seeing more actual bankruptcies, both corporate and municipal, which of course we will, going into a recession.

Same thing for credit default swaps. Only when there are some actual defaults will the shit hit the fan.
