    Hedge funds buying CDO’s and CDL’s and then borrowing money against them what a racket. I like the part of poor people buying homes and defaulting on the loans. I think we need to substitute the word poor for stupid. I understand alot of the leverage was in the order of 10 to 1 so borrowing 100 billion against the fund value of 10 billion. And then reinvesting that what a tangled web it is.
