And how would you have done that, PadreBrian? I knew about the various ABXs, and wanted to short some of them in late May ’07, but as far as I could tell, you had to be a Qualified Institutional Buyer to do that, and have enough money to get an investment bank’s attention and enter into a contract with them. I don’t think there were any exchange-traded derivatives allowing you to short the ABXs.
Does anyone on this board know if the unwashed masses (well, let’s say an Accredited Investor) could have shorted the ABX’s? Chris S?
