Think a dead interbank lending market will welcome Spain's commercial paper?

The details might be dissimilar here and there, but the bigpic is the same: subprime and public finance are all about debt no one can pay so we get the same poopstorm. One thing is definitely different: how is the inevitble bailout structured? Who is going to bail out the UK or Spain or us? Nations do have a re-set button but do they dare pull the trigger?

that's bs. last time was NOT about sovereign debt. this time it is. big difference. although its still about banks and their loan portfolios when all is said and done. at this moment in time. so, completely different set of catalysts as the crow flies. you're job is how to find out, how, at this juncture they can reflate confidence if not assets. first confidence, then assets. you figure that out, you win the trade. micro. macro, end game is still the end game, since there has been no fundamental change. that kid in new orleans is going to lose money on you, if you don't get your act together. you still working in a lab? or taking aeroplane flying lessons?
