Bond holders can insure with a new company to preserve their AAA rating.

Is the scenario correct?

I think the price of AAA bond insurance just went up.

Who are the AAAs. Seems like they would be a good investment. Until, Moody's gets around to re-rating them, too.

This doesn’t sound good to me. Will further bring down the economy. I see a domino effect starting. First the mortgage market, next the credit card market, the bond ratings take a dive, oil prices and food prices rise, the Fed may raise interest rates because of inflation due to the high oil prices, what’s next?
