Synthetic CDOs - Sinking savings and future earnings into them

An article by the Wall Street Journal:
"Investors are once again clamoring for a risky investment blamed for helping unleash the financial crisis: the synthetic CDO.

In a sign of how hard Wall Street is trying to satisfy voracious demand for higher returns amid rock-bottom interest rates, J.P. Morgan Chase JPM -0.03% & Co. and Morgan Stanley MS -0.27% bankers in London are moving to assemble so-called synthetic collateralized debt obligations."

I don't know about you but I'm sinking all of my savings and future earnings in to them this time around!

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but rather carry a big stick; you will go far.
