Thanks, Gabriel

This is awesome. Anything about CDO is nice to learn. The only problem is we have a trip to NYSE trading floor on that day April 18th :wall (just the same old problem we face, too many events scheduled at the wrong time)

I hope others can go. When you come accross events like this, please come back and post here.
Regards,
 
Greenwich is not all that far, specially if one has company isn't it ???
