real estate prices had NEVER fallen all bad debts CAN’T default at the same time Subprime bonds = „sophisticated”
asset-backed securitized mortgages = from junk to AAA ratings
... and what should have NEVER theoretically
happened, HAPPENED: real estate prices went down and AAA bonds defaulted, banks went bankrupt and the system collapsed

Many layers failed living up to ethical standards:◦ The subprime broker selling mortgages to people who could not afford it◦ The retail banker selling CDOs (or funds loaded up of CDOs) to people not
understanding the products◦ The people involved in favorable market-to-market◦ The people involved in securitization of what were always inflammable products◦ The risk managers not understanding the structural change or even worse,
understanding it but not adjusting it◦ CEOs, CIOs being happy with superior performance without questioning◦ The shareholders punishing conservative performance◦ Academics? Aren’t we supposed to explain not only the past? When we think
people are jeopardizing the future, shouldn’t we make noise?
