    Finance and capital markets on Khan Academy: Interest is the basis of modern capital markets. Depending on whether you are lending or borrowing, it can be viewed as a return on an asset (lending) or the cost of capital (borrowing). This tutorial gives an introduction to this fundamental concept, including what it means to compound. It also gives a rule of thumb that might make it easy to do some rough interest calculations in your head.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps.

    "Hey wait, wait, wait, AIG. You only have 100 billion dollars in assets, but you have insured 1 trillion dollars of other people's debts!"

      In the financial sector as a buyer do your research don’t go with the flow and do your own numbers and make your decision because somehow the lawyers found a way to diversify liability and at the end no one is at fault it is part of the game unfortunately

      You are as an investor, as a free-market participant. You are supposed to be a sane person - you either take into consideration Moody rating or disregard it. You are a private person making a decision with you money. When you make money it is your private profit, when you lose money it is your private loss. What is important that if something goes under, government and the FED are not supposed to step in and save your private losses with the taxes or inflation money.

I have tried to explain it in layman's terms to my friends, found I had to back track often (and lost them in the story) but so far your C-D-1 made it clear to them. I will hit them tonite with C-D-2. Thanks for taking the work out of my hands.

    I have started to do research into how the banking/financial system operates & as soon as I came across the point if CDS's I felt like I was missing something - because it made very little common sense !
    What I am seeing though, is that these systems are not based on common sense and what is best for all but rather what makes money for specific parties for limited amounts of time - no self-responsibility, no concern for the impact on others ! WTF?!
