CDO schematics


Look at this thing. That is the "architecture" of a CDO. Does it remind you of object design a little bit :)

Would be good to visualize this over time (i.e what cracked first , then what are dependencies craked and now who is going to collapse - like the monoline insurers are next)

Do they have design patterns?
"Abstract Factory" comes to mind, and "Lazy init", "Chain of responsibility" and finally, we're all Observing this stuff in great amazement ... right?

what cracked first is that the whole SPV2 structure was based on air by the time this machine ran twice on a original pool of subprime. Meaning that the whole ownership structure of SPV2 was actually zero. SPV2 was bankrupt.

If I read correctly, the monoline is indeed exposed in the SPV1 structure.

So SPV1 is hit, if SPV2 is bankrupt.

The whole SPV2 Equity of SPV2 was called "toxic assets",
