That report is from May 2011. Their estimate of close to zero recovery for the bonds doesn't square with what the market thinks. The bonds are trading at near 70, not near 10. Even the preferreds (below them) are trading at 50 cents on the dollar.

That simply doesn't compute. Personally, I think S&P is off base on this one.
