| 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 am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
