no recovery at all of the AAA?

seems unduly dire.

surely it is good for 10%.

markets will ignore this for the moment because the implications are so severe.

but even if 50% are lost, a disaster.

this is where thinking within the box takes me. however, looking at things as they are leads to something else entirely.

why are things not as dire as they by rights should be?

easy. a collapse of the dollar prompted by a collapse of US financials is a too sudden and too dire a result for the globe to handle.

NAB’s exposure to the US property market: $1.2 billion worth of structured finance assets. NAB is now expecting 100% loss on $900 million worth of AAA rated debt securities.

If only 25% only can be saved iot means the losses will be Gargantuan 75%.
