Default Re: Explain \"buying debt\"

whats the relative price volatility of corporate debt after a chapter 11 files? i'd think it would rise significantly.

This depends entirely on the pre-filing capital structure of the entity, and whether in a reorganization, you're above or below the cramdown/pivot security.

what is a cramdown/pivot security? is that the security that is in between the first lein creditors and the bondholders? probably not since that is a guess outta my ass but i am curious as to how that goes down.

no pun.

thanks,
