What's the "awaiting the letter from Berlusconi""

Is it like the Letter to Garcia...or the Scarlet Letter?....or the Letter to Three Wives?

Breathlessly awaiting.....

“trigger a credit event”

This is the big danger.

A “credit event” is what set off our current great recession.

In our case it was Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy.

While letting Lehman Brothers fail didn’t seem that significant, it triggered massive liabilities in the Credit Default Swaps market which spread throughout banks and financial firms all over the world.
