The received wisdom is that these fallen angels are sold by fixed income investors who, by regulation, are prohibited from investing substantial portions of their portfolios in speculative grade paper. We investigate insurance company sales of bonds that were downgraded to junk in order to document the extent of forced sell...

Fallen cardinals

We prove that for every singular cardinal μ of cofinality ω, the complete Boolean algebra compPμ(μ) contains a complete subalgebra which is isomorphic to the collapse algebra CompCol(ω1, μ0 ). Consequently, adding a generic filter to the quotient algebra Pμ(μ) = P(μ)/[μ] collapses μ0 to א1. Another corollary is that the Baire number of the space U(μ) of all uniform ultrafilters over μ is equal ...

According to a 2005 report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [2], Korea had the highest suicide rate with nearly 30 deaths per 100,000 population.
