Otherwise there will be more corporatle failures and mores economic mess in the future. Everybody will lose at the end.nnAny other ideas. Thanks.

These are assurances by a first party to a second party that any defaults by a third party, the borrower from the second party, will be made good by the first party. But the only asset the first party has is a CDS with a fourth party, which has one with a fifth, etc. When these dominos fall, who can stop it?

Why the sudden hit? I thought food manufacturers were recession-proof.

Assume the option continued to be profitable for the duration.
