• Ugly Chart of the Day: And Then There Were Two
CDS spreads on Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Goldman at 620 over on CDS, and equity down 14% at today's close (having been down much more earlier in the session), both absolutely unthinkable a year ago (some would say it couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.) Morgan Stanley (which is apparently talking to Wachovia and HSBC) at an even more unthinkable 998 over on CDS (i.e., roughly in line with a typical distressed cable/altnet company), with equity down 24% today. Double ouch... • AltNetConf Reflections
With the smoke clearing from the altnetconf this weekend I thought I might reflect a little on the ambience. Once again I was really pleased with how the Open Space format turned out.

We?ll be headed to NYG in the IFSC: http://www.nyg.ie/ OpenCoffee will begin around 10:30 and will go until about 12:30 or so, but it?s quite laid-back. Please feel free to come along, bring a friend, etc. If you?ve never been to OpenCoffee before, now is a great time to go and meet new people, as there are lots of folks who haven?t been able to • Scottish Developers August Newsletter
