Points upfront - Iron Maiden
Monday, March 30, 2009

Given the depressing nature of their subject matter, you can hardly blame structured credit analysts for having a little fun. A Wachovia research report last month targeted the grim topic of CLO liquidations - but as a reader to Creditflux pointed out, all the subheadings were titles of songs by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Let's just hope no Wachovia analyst has an opportunity to use "Bring your daughter... to the slaughter".
