RiskMetrics Group Webcast: The Credit Crisis: How We Got Into the Current Mess and How We Can Get OutSubmitted by: Ron Papanek, Markets Strategist for RiskMetrics Labs

RiskMetrics Group hosted Nouriel Roubini of Roubini Global Economics, Barry Ritholts of Fusion IQ and Zach Gast of RiskMetrics Group in a discussion of the current credit crisis, the bailout and the likely ramifications for the markets yesterday.

Roubini provided a global perspective addressing the linkages of the economic weakness across the US, Europe and Asia. Ritholts put the recent market selloff in the context of other bear markets in equities. Gast addressed specific issues in the banking system from changes in mark to market accounting to deteriorating asset values to long term solvency.

This webcast was particularly popular given the current financial market crisis. In fact, the Wall Street Journal?s Blog and another blog, Cash Mundy, are touching upon the key themes covered during yesterday?s webcast.
