Henry,

>NEW YORK -- Moody's Investors Service speculative-grade bond default rate in 
>February rose to 6.61%, the highest since a 6.45% default rate was recorded in 
>June 1992, the ratings agency said Wednesday.

I knew that someone was going to come up with something like this... What's that? 
Just another junk-bond crisis, not a systemic collapse. What I want to see before 
going in doomsaying mode is the spread between treasuries and AAA corps 
going through the roof. (AAA corps are solid and reputable companies, the kind of 
corporations which should not fail.)

Rob,

I didn't want the numbers, but an explanation for the move. If it has lost only 300, 
then 
it's been coming back cause it was down about 10% at some point. Something 
happend apparently. Thanks anyway.
