Structure it again, Dieter!
Calculated Risk: Super Duper Senior Bonds
"Super Duper" sounds like the kind of thing you hear at a Junior League luncheon (not that I've ever been invited to one, you know, but you hear stories). I think they need a better name for this.
Belt and Suspenders Bonds? Belt and Suspenders and Duct Tape Bonds? Belt and Suspenders and Duct Tape and Airbag Bonds?Belt and Suspenders and Duct Tape and Airbag and Flame-Retardant Jammies Bonds? If we're going to act like we found the recipe for a quintuple-A rating, we might as well be vivid.
This reminds me of how the street-cart guys made coffee before Starbucks - run it through the filter ten times to wring the last bit of color from those nasty grounds.
It really wasn't super duper. More like pooper scooper.

Whatever they end up calling these things, the bonds they're carved out of should be renamed Double Secret Probation Bonds.
