Research Zeitgeist: Top Posts and Hot Topics
Research Recap readers hit the books this week in an effort to better understand the three-letter acronym vehicles involved in the ongoing subprime implosion. Our most widely read posts this week were Fitch Ratings‘ Primer on Credit Default Swaps and Research Primer: Structured Investment Vehicles, which summarized two recent Moody’s reports on SIVs.
Fully briefed on SIVs and CDS swaps, Research Recap readers then focused on the Monoline Insurer roundup, as AMBAC, MBIA and Security Capital saw wild swings in share price this week.
Other posts with high readership this week included the Deloitte study updating the rising cost of bank compliance costs and our Research Roundup on Sovereign Wealth Funds.
Also seeing continued interest was the December post on the Role of Hedge Funds in the Subprime Crisis.
