Flexibility over how the money is spent is among the reasons why the loans are so popular


It's a do-good vision in a billion-dollar artisan industry. But investors are already losing patience


Do-gooders often suppress their own desires, sacrifice pleasures, and endure years of loneliness. But Larissa MacFarquhar doesn't think that altruists are necessarily deluded or dispirited
“THE do-gooder”, writes Larissa MacFarquhar in “Strangers Drowning”, “sets out to live as ethical a life as possible.”

文章稱﹐由於缺乏對產品風險屬性的瞭解﹐監管機構工作人員對抵押債務憑證(CDO)等結構性投資工具和信用違約掉期(CDS)等衍生產品可能引發的問題﹐以及金融機構資產負債表不能體現的表外業務活動﹐其中包括對結構性產品至關重要的評級方法的缺陷等風險隱患不夠敏感。

In military jargon, civilian casualties in military actions are "collateral damage." The expression has a cold, soulless ring to it, devoid of any sense of the warmth normally associated with human life. The expression reduces each person's life and death to stark statistics, enabling aggressors to conveniently justify their actions.


A.I.G. has outlined only broad categories: some is being used to shore up its securities-lending program, some to make good on its guaranteed investment contracts, some to pay for day-to-day operations and — of perhaps greatest interest to watchdogs — tens of billions of dollars to post collateral with other financial institutions, as required by A.I.G.’s many derivatives contracts.
No information has been supplied yet about who these counterparties are, how much collateral they have received or what additional tripwires may require even more collateral if the housing market continues to slide.
Ms. Tavakoli said she thought that instead of pouring in more and more money, the Fed should bring A.I.G. together with all its derivatives counterparties and put a moratorium on the collateral calls. “We did that with ACA,” she said, referring to ACA Capital Holdings, a bond insurance company that filed for bankruptcy in 2007.


The positive version is that pawnshops are happy-to-help do-gooders for the unwealthy, a sort of poor man's banker: both the Franciscans of the Middle Ages and the Buddhist monks of Ancient China ran pawning operations for the benefit of the poor. Such pawnbrokers would provide tiny sums that those without a lot of collateral couldn't borrow from the more pompous lending bodies: in effect, they were microfinancers. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of pawnbrokers - there's a touching legend whereby he provides dowries for three poor girls who can't get married without them, and the dowries were three bags of gold - hence the three gold balls you see hanging outside every Western pawnshop.

Collateralized debt obligation
CDO
An investment-grade security backed by a pool of bonds, loans and other assets. CDOs do not specialize in one type of debt but are often non-mortgage loans or bonds.
Investopedia Says:
Similar in structure to a collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) or collateralized bond obligation (CBO), CDOs are unique in that they represent different types of debt and credit risk. In the case of CDOs, these different types of debt are often referred to as 'tranches' or 'slices'. Each slice has a different maturity and risk associated with it. The higher the risk, the more the CDO pays.
