| 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 happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
