    almost

    exactly

    4

    years

    to

    the

    day

    that

    the current financial crisis started. It could be argued that it began when the

    Credit Ratings Agencies valued Collaterized Debt Obligations (CDO) based on

    from 6,500 on the FTSE 100 tojust 3,500 at worst soon after the collapse of big U.S. names such as Lehman

    BrothersandBearStearns.
