What is Credit Default Swap?

Hi Frnds,
Once i Was Reading NewsPaper,I found this word CREDIT DEFAULT SWAP

But I was Confused,During that time,
So, I surfed Internet a Lot and Finally Posting this Topic.


What is Credit Default Swap?
It is similar to Insurance ,if i am worried about DEFAULT.


Example:
Suppose I invested in Company's A bond.Lets Say my Investment is 10Crore Rs.
Also,I am Worried that,Company A may Default.

So,What Can We DO???

One Option is To Sell this Bond.
Other Option is enter into CREDIT DEFAULT SWAP.

Simply Credit Default Swap is Insurance Contract.
So,We Need a Company B ,which provides this Insurance.

I will pay monthly some Money(usually % of the Bond value) to Company B.
So,In Future if Company A is Defaulted,then Company B will pay my 10 Crores.
