What is a CDO, CDO squared, Synthetic CDO and how did the 2008 crisis happen

Short description of CDO (Collateralized Debt Obligation) and what caused the 2008 collapse --- 5 trillion dollars in pension money, real estate value, 401k, savings, and bonds had disappeared. 8 million people lost their jobs, six million lost their homes. And that was just in the USA.

And it’s going to happen again, but this time because of synthetic shares and naked shorting. Shady brokerages are lending out synthetic shares to hedge funds who are borrowing money from the banks to borrow shares. Synthetic shares are shares that are completely made up, but exist only because books aren’t checked for during electronic trades. Hedge funds are shorting companies using synthetic shares causing the stock price of said company to tank down into oblivion. When said company goes bankrupt, the hedge funds don’t have to cover their shorts and everyone makes a fuckload of money. However, when retail investors start buying truckloads shares of a company that is being naked shorted, suddenly the hedge funds can’t rely on the company going bankrupt to avoid covering their shorts and the stock price of said target company goes up. The hedge funds then borrow more money from banks to borrow more synthetic shares to short, but the retail investors keep buying the shares keeping the share price stable or going up. This cycle continues until hedge funds are forced to cover their shorts at which point the share price will skyrocket because of demand and the supply of shares is owned by the retail investors.

The piece of this that’s missing is the 1998 Fair Housing Act that forced banks to give home loans to people who wouldn’t normally qualify. The government assumed that the banks were withholding loans because of racism, and that needed to be corrected. It turned out, a lot of the people that traditionally got turned down for loans really couldn’t handle paying a mortgage. The government expected the banks to just soak these up; instead, the banks just packaged loans that were going to go bad with good loans and sold them off as investments. As long as the default rate stayed under a certain percentage of the total collected debt in any given bond, then everyone could make money. But people started to go nuts with the mortgage approvals because the money started flying around like crazy. It blinded people. So it’s all over, but the Fair Housing Act of 1998 never got repealed. The government never admitted that their policy started this whole thing, and so the policy continues. The banks sort of shaped up, they reined in the insane mortgage approvals, but now there’s always going to be a higher than acceptable rate of mortgage failure, the market is much more risky and unstable than it should be.

[@mikeyh0]

That's correct. Barney Franks was the main driver behind that act. The banking queen as Rush put it in a great parody of Dancing Queen by ABBA,. The "red-line" method of eliminating potential borrowers was deemed racist. Who's fault is it that certain groups didn't qualify for home loans? The crash was inevitable and clearly seen by bankers especially the very big ones. Hundreds of small banks closed all around the country consolidating power into the hands of fewer and fewer people.

What? That act was from 1968. It established housing (renting or selling) discrimination illegal. In 1988, they just gave the power of the federal government the power to enforce the law. I looked it up and it specifically states that there can be "lawful discrimination" for the following; people who can't pay the mortgage, people who can't take care of the property, people with bad credit and people suing Section 8 vouchers (though that last one almost reads like there is a lot of grey areas). There is plenty of blame to go around but the Fair Housing Act shouldn't take any blame.

​@@Payton3434It sounds like they are talking about the Community Reinvestment Act that pushed banks to meet the needs of borrowers in low-income neighborhoods.

That seems like gambling to me and not real money making. Am I understanding the synthetic CDO correctly?

[@RexiRexx87]

So according to this video. A synthetic CDO, is when default swaps are pooled together and packaged as a CDO. So think of it like this. The mortgages make up mortgage bonds and parts CDOs. Credit default swaps are like the insurance policy against those CDOs to which if the CDO fails to perform and pay to investors, the credit default swap pays to investors. BUT, the investors have to pay premiums on those swaps(just like actual insurance). It’s those same premium payments that allow the money making from swaps to happen(again just how an insurance company takes premium to cover your risk. Or how your mortgage payments are paid out to investors of mortgages bonds). Now take those SAME default swaps, bundle THEM as a CDO…that’s a synthetic CDO. Just how a CDO full of mortgages pays out to investors because of the mortgage payments from consumers…synthetic CDOs pay out to investors because of the premium payments Swap holders make. So really the SIMPLEST way to put it. Imagine your insurance company took you and everyone else policies…bundled them up, and sold them. That is what a synthetic CDO is

@@eugkra33 I don’t think you understand the concept of a black swan event. It’s NOT going to be a disease, that’s far too predictable. The reason why the 2008-2009 crash was a black swan event was because less than 0.000001% of the population of the world knew what was happening in the housing market before it entered the lips of the mainstream media and the minds of the American populous. The pandemic crash of 2020 was NOT a black swan event for the markets because the economies of the world were manually shutdown by the governments of the world to induce a market crash and the markets in the US recovered to all time highs only 5 weeks after the 30% market drop...that’s neither a black swan event nor a bear market.

What you essentially need to understand is what a CDO is when they put enough shit in a mystery box. They sell it to you and you think it's a good idea cause it's a cheap deal, but inside is a bunch of socks and a basket inside, instead of an Ipad.

[@RexiRexx87]

I wouldn’t call it a mystery box. More like a mislabeled box. CDOs and MBS themselves weren’t the issue. the issue is that rating agencies weren’t rating them properly as well. It doesn’t matter if shit or gold is in the box, as long as you knew what was in it. Now yes, if you knew shit was in the box then you would avoid it. Which would sort of defeat the purpose of even packaging shit. But that’s exactly why the banks needed the agencies to rate them higher than they were. Because they knew that shit wouldn’t be off their books

Communism - shit Capitalism - behind the scenes shit

[@TheOsydius]

Actually capitalism works great when the government doesn't get involved in it. A free market only works if it's actually free. But here, the US government influenced the housing market quite a bit by inciting banks to lend to subprime borrowers they would never have approached under normal circumstance through the Community Reinvestment Act, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They actually had a quota of subprime loans they had to fill. So what did banks do with such a high volume of loans they didn't want ? They found a way to make a profit off of them of course. That's what they do for a living after all. That's not to say that a good portion of the bankers who profited off of those crappy CDO didn't know exactly what they were doing, and deserve to be in jail (especially rating agencies), but none of this would have happened if the government had stayed out of it.

[@Catonian1]

@@TheOsydius Thank you!

[@antred11]

@@TheOsydius "Actually capitalism works great when the government doesn't get involved in it." Bull-fucking-shit. Unregulated capitalism is almost as bad as Soviet-style communism. If companies are completely free to do as they please, that's exactly what they will do, whatever the fuck they please.

[@TheOsydius]

​@@antred11 First, nobody ever said that companies needed to be "unregulated". That's not my point. Companies need to follow the law and there has to be some rules in place to allow for free competition as well as regulations regarding for instance environment or sensitive technology (such as defense technology, etc). But the point is that you should never mix power (i.e., the executive branch of government) with capital. Otherwise what you get is corrupt politicians being lobbied by rich companies to basically disrupt the market to their advantage. This is how you get into this "too big to fail" crap, which end in bail-out BS and so on (all of which would not happen under pure capitalism btw as "too big to fail" can only exist with the government support). The moment someone in power can use that power to offer undue privileges to third parties in exchange for compensation is the moment you have an issue. In a pure capitalist system, lobbying does not exist. It only happens in systems (such as ours) where money can buy regulations, and regulations can buy reelections. Case in point: the 2008 crisis happened because of the politicians' will to increase home ownership for people who could not buy homes. The politicians wanted that out of the goodness of their hearts, of course, and not because it would obviously improve their chances to be reelected. They then pressured the banks, through various means, to do what they would not have done in a normal market, i.e. lend to people who cannot repay their loan (what a business model !). The regulation they created to disrupt the market did just that, it disrupted the market. With the support of the Fed which artificially maintained low interest rates, this created a market of "unmarketable mortgages" (banks trying to pass on the loss since their business was, and still is, to make money) which lead to the crash of 2008 when the real estate bubble burst. This type of situation, i.e. creating a market of unmarketable products, can only happen in 2 cases: (i) fraud, which is already covered by the law and needs no more regulation, or (ii) government involvement. You can tell the 2 apart because when disruption is caused by the government, nobody goes to jail, unlike in situations caused by fraud. But in any case, how can you compare even unregulated capitalism (whatever that means) with Soviet-style communism ? I mean, imagine you deregulated restaurants for instance, what would happen in your eyes ? I can imagine some of them cutting cost by buying not so fresh food, sure. Then their clients would get food poisoning and never come back, and they would find themselves out of business. Even big companies such as Apple or Amazon, if they cut corners on let's say employment regulation or product standards, what do you think would happen ? Do you think that, in any way, it would compare to the hundred of millions of people who died of starvation or in gulags that were brought by soviet communism ?? I mean remember that unlike a government, a company only does business if the people are willing to buy its products. You don't like amazon, don't shop there ! If enough people dislike it, the company crashes, end of story. Under a communist regime, you have no choice on the matter. If you don't like it, your only other option is to die. So even if we agreed on a definition of what "unregulated capitalism" is, I don't see how you could compare it to the freedom destroying nightmare that is soviet-style communism.
