The sub-prime gambling fix

May 16, 2008

I look at the stock market as a gamble. 

And a legal gambling was cleverly employed by the banks with sub-prime mortgages.  They re-packaged them and mixed them with prime and super-prime mortgages.  So you were getting a goodie bag of unknowns.  Essentially the ‘odd pakora, new pakora’ mixed in one bag.

Fast forward and now it’s world wide panic.

Nice one banks, you created the problem – repackaged it – then scammed it off to everyone else.
