the aftermath of
that crisis, newly issued Commercial Real Estate Asset Backed securities did very well, because everyone was especially cognizant of
the risk factors involved. A similar
thing happened in railroads after

mircea_popescu: "AllAdvantage was a website
that paid members
to surf
the Net. It paid
to acquire
these users, and supposedly leveraged its members’ eyeballs into advertizing dollars. At
the initial fundraiser internet capitalist Frank Quattrone, who helped fund Cisco and many other legitimate successful concerns, and President Clinton both paid
tribute
