So far, the answer from accountants seems to be "well, it does make sense" and from peers "I can see why you'd do that."&nbsp; By in large, these are people who don't need to care what their credit rating is, or can certainly weather having a poor one for several years.<br/><br/>I wonder whether this class of future defaults is on the radar of policy-makers,&nbsp; If it is,&nbsp; how can they accurately estimate the size of this issue?<br/><br/><br/><br \><br \>42 replies Tue, 19 May 2009 17:31:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Strategic-Default/236677/ 2009-05-19T17:31:00Z Penny Stock Picks: The Promises and Pitfalls http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Penny-Stock-Picks-The-Promises-and-Pitfalls/301855/ When trading any security you really need to do your homework.
