Exclamation Structured credit fund warning... LEAPS play in this perhaps?

Here is the article:

http://www.finalternatives.com/node/3483
"...subprime mortgages were the weakest and thus the first link a chain of adverse events now unfolding
Scary? Maybe, but it may not turn out to be quite as bad as these particular fund managers seem to expect. Should things turn out to be quite this bad... how do you play this?

I posted this to the Stock trading forum as well, just to gain a more diverse perspective from anyone who may be paying attention.

LEAPS puts anybody? Which banks have worst exposure?
