via zero hedge - on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero by Tyler Durden on 3/22/10
Ah, the halcyon days of 2006, when the bubble was cranking, rates were stable and rising, Bernanke was brand new and few realized he would was yet to become the destroyer of capitalism, when subprime was only known to a select few future billionaires, when Bear Stearns was alive and well and was organizing credit conference at the Waldorf Astoria (instead of arranging credit for itself in advance of going bankrupt in 2008) during which nobody said anything relevant (that includes Bear's then chief economist David Malpass) and where participants merely reinforced each other's fallacious groupthink, capped by Peyton Manning as keynote speaker of all people. Companies presenting were all the current and future LBO hits (which would soon undergo Chapter 22 and in some cases 33). We are only amazed that Bear hasn't risen from the dead to recreate the credit conference below, coupled with full bubble frothiness and all other bells and whistles.
