As leveraged assets go down in value, the leverage multiples go up. Adding to that multiple is the falling dollar and the fact that these assets are in reality debt deposits, not cash deposits, that were passed on in different forms to be leveraged over and over.
It's just like 5 Things You Need To Know, only louder.
Join Kevin Depew and Cory Bortnicker for the inaugural edition of 5 Things You Need to Know: The Podcast. Topics include yesterday’s volatile market, the role of deflation on the economy, and how Wall Street will never be same again.
Each week, Kevin and Cory will break down the biggest stories on the Street, and why they matter to you. Cory knows next to nothing about economics. Fortunately, Kevin does.
The podcast is a project in motion. We welcome your thoughts and questions as we evolve, and urge you to become a part of the conversation. E-mail us.
