ssradja | Interesting. How about covenants? |
jmcarr02 | How could a country provide collateral... lol! I imagine a banker asking for bunch of road or an administrative building. |
CheeHong | I would imagine those are good collaterals. Just that we never knew when the national army will come storming in to seize them back again. |
TheHTrader | What does Character stand for? |
Sailor85 | Character is a measure of the borrower's past payment history. In consumer lending, it is normally evaluated by pulling a credit report. |
rocyang | Poor south americans... |
jonan203 | well, the tax payers and their future earnings are implied to be the collateral of US debt... |
chcarnes | unsecured = no collateral! |

I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
