Asia Times For the markets, global chill It is no longer accurate to blame the current world equity-market selloff on the "subprimes", as if it were the case that if only that problem went away, everything would be fine. Rather, it's fear of the unknown that's driving the stampede - nobody knows how much bad debt the banks and brokerages have on their portfolios, or to what extent the ocean of easy money that propelled the recent boom has frozen over. - Julian Delasantellis

Emerging markets bright spot in credit chaos
