Please include the date as the clips publicize, because you often mention the "current market" I think it is helpful to the viewers to be able to see the relevance of what is going on in the market respectively.

One of my favorites by far. The fact that it's so funny to picture these two girls drawing up this intricate contract, etc. makes this all the more memorable.

Excellent explanations ... I am from investment banking and I learnt things very hard. This will be very useful for people who are new to these concepts.

Hey Paddy,

Thanks for making these concepts look so easy. Everytime I need to assure myself that yeah I do actually now understand how the market and the economy works and what CDOs and CDSs are - I just visualize your drawings! Amazingly lucid explanations taught in the most creative of ways! Superb stuff. This goes for all your videos. I've become a huuuge fan. Thanks a lot for spreading the education. :)

Regards,
Mahesh

Buying on margin is very risky, usually done by traders and non-risk averse investors betting they will make a lot of money in a short period of time. Now I understand why we've been having continuous sell-offs in the market. Very well explained.

Please, educate me (I did not grew up in US).
1 - What is "US economy" without Wall Street speculators, tricksters, lawyers, doctors and illegal workers?
2 - What is "US defense" if "US economy" sold to oversea and Saddam was Osama's enemy?
Thanks
Lev

You mean to tell me that I don't need an MBA from Wharton to understand this.

Thank You for doing this! Please continue. There are nerds like me that "dig" this.
