The final lesson is, Beware of the dangers of bottom fishing. It would have been tempting to buy this security when the original AAA paper traded down to the low two-digits -- but any buyer that did that is sitting on big losses.

Remember that when someone tells you that something is so cheap that it has nowhere to go but up
