How do I trade CDX?

Monkeys,

I am a super novice to the trading/ AM world. My firm is considering to underwrite/ trade CDX and I am tasked to find out how the trade would work. Can anyone please tell me anything/ everything I need to know about how the trade work?

Troll detected... WTF kind of firm venturing into something as exotic as CDX resorts to WSO for information?!

1/10 TROLL.

Something tells me I want to be on the other side of that trade.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.

Glad to hear - now, elaborate how you are going to be on "the other side" of my trade. Why do you think there would be an other side to begin with?

LOL WHAT

I just read this and had a wet dream just thinking about being the other side of this trade. My wife's pussy just got wet too, to be frank. Probably Sharon's as well. This is the kind of trade I lived for.
