During the financial crisis, we created an index that tracks credit default swap prices for the major banks and brokers across the world. This essentially measures default risk for the financial sector. After declining significantly for the past 9 months, the index has spiked in recent weeks to its highest level since last September. As shown below, the downtrend line in the index has also been broken on the run-up as well. In just a couple weeks, the fear has picked up quite a bit.

whats up with the graphics today. Anyway, the risk of default is up mainly due to the prospect of the FED jacking up rates. I honetly can't see 1) why the fed would do so when they constantly say they wont and 2) why the banks would default when they can easily charge their customers higher rates and pass on the costs/risk. I have two links to related to stories:

laptopaccessoriesstore.org sells batteries at discounted prices. We offer a wide range of quality link:http://www.laptopaccessoriesstore.org/ for most major brands including Asus, Dell, Lenovo/IBM, Compaq/HP, Apple, Sony, Toshiba,…
The best thing for you to do is probably just hold on to the family sterling and inherited antique link:http://www.goldswatches.com/, while paying off the mortgage and getting to know farmers and craftsmen and having something to trade with them.
