Ouch! It hurts just thinking about it!

I met a fairly young fellow recently that had one. His gait looked quite normal, was surprised when he told me. He has no regrets.

I wish you good luck and a speedy recovery.

Larry,

I have erred somewhat myself in describing the DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS and PUKEBONDS as MBS's, when, more accurately they are collateralized debt obligations (CDO's), [which still are not derivatives, since, ostensibly, there is the implication of collateral](security), but obscure financial instruments.
