| gregsob2 | really? in what sense? isnt it the protection seller who delivers the bond? |
| droko | the buyer delivers. |
| CFAJ | the protection seller either buys the defaulted bonds from the buyer of CDS or pays the difference between cheapest to deliver and notional amount |
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!
