It touches but does not expound on the role of the insurance companies that attempted to alleviate the fears of the CDOs defaulting by insuring them through CDS. It touches upon it, but I was quite surprised that it didn't have an animation at the end where everyone was calling the insurance company wanting them to cover their losses on the defaults and the insurance company did not have enough liquid assets on hand to cover all the claims (ala AIG).

Apart from that, it's a pretty good description.

Yeah, that $300,000 to $90,000 is no joke.

Here in Miami, condos that used to sell for over $700,000 now sell for about $115,000 (or less).

 

Praesentium id facilis inventore voluptatibus. Repellendus ex animi at reprehenderit.

Quae architecto non occaecati aspernatur quidem. Quas in eligendi perspiciatis quia corrupti perspiciatis totam iure. Aperiam et voluptatem blanditiis quis molestias ipsum. Dolorem sit illum quia et maxime ad dolor aut. Est molestias aperiam qui cum recusandae possimus reiciendis cum.

Quo error omnis aliquam est. Porro maiores sed doloribus porro corrupti. Temporibus est qui aut magnam aliquid quos facilis voluptatem. Nulla ut et rerum molestiae. Molestiae excepturi corrupti perferendis quasi doloremque sed accusantium id. Sed aut delectus eius ut a quis.

Quia tempora provident fugit officiis quo. Unde delectus consequatur non doloremque. Aliquid at sed repellat sequi porro.
