    So I take it you know all about them? Please enlighten us. Do you write, buy or trade them? Can you show us an actual CDS contract including price, stipulations, length of time, along with all the other inevitable nuances that are in typical contracts?

    Credit Default Swaps (CDS) wtf?

    Its true about the reputable insurance company example, but still, there is no guarantee your insurance will be honored. Also, since there is no exchange isn't it more difficult to determine exact value ever minute of every day for any given contract? Wouldn't CDS arb be a possibility...
