The long tail of the monolines

Accrued Interest picked up something that I had missed, namely the continuing long slow death of the monolines. In particular Moody's downgraded the last of the AAAs, FSA and Assured Guaranty, on Friday. Read about it here. This is rather like that poignant moment when the last of bottle of 1970 Lafite is drunk - although the smiles are a little less broad.
