CFO and COO out at LEH, here are my questions
-Why is stock still trading down?
-Is this a smart move?
-Can LEH survive as an independent company? Does it need to be bought? Who would buy?
-What are LEH opinions and cds doing?
- MS just upgraded the financial sector ---- are banks a buy? At what levels?

I was wondering if anyone knew where or if I would be able to find research done by BBs, MMs, AM etc. relating to Credit Derivatives, but NOT PRIMERS (its for a paper for school)Research could be related to pricing, hedging, arb, portfolio construction. I have been able to find a ton of research done by academics, but not too much done by practitioners (which was specifically asked for)

Here's a random question --

About two weeks ago I received an email from a BB IBD Recruiting says that I had a first round interview with them. The peculiar thing is:
1 - I never applied to this BB for IB
2 - This BB's IBD does not recruit at my University
3 - I do not know anyone in at this BB in IBD
4 - Already accepted and offer at a different BB
