    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.

    Hey, Thanks for the help. CDS are now at an all time high. Never before has it been like this. It is all falling apart. Best to understand what is happening so we can best prepare.

    are this video and the one about CDOs inspired by a reading of Michael Lewis' The Big Short? i read it in the spring and half the book seemed to be either "credit default swaps" or "CDOs"

    Well isnt this how the recession of 2008-09 started. AIG selling CDS on home mortgages by changing their credit ratings ? As long as the payments on loan was happening. The pension fund kept on receiving interest. The moment the loan payments were defaulted. Majority of problem started happening.

    you said that u gave $1B to company A for 10% interest a year, but u havent said for how long, if its for 10 years it wouldn't make any sense, should it be more than 10 years obligation?

    @DavidAKZ please reframe that request. I don't assume you think that a system that works extremely well must never fail sometimes.... If you mean where the value added of financial markets as a whole lies, try to experiment with the "gambler's ruin" idea, ideally with Monte Carlo simulations and learn why accurate risk assessment is crucial for even the most basic growth curves.

    @DavidAKZ You're arguments are very fuzzy, care to elaborate or be more specific? Financial prices are random walks. And yes, price doubling because of randomly changing public information of basic supply and demand fundamentals is quite possible, especially if you factor in complex systems theory. I don't disagree, markets have to be regulated a lot more, but people just don't understand. You apply hate and ignorance to a problem that needs deeper understanding.

    @SalsaTiger83 I'm not sure the quantification of risk is important to criminals.

    @SalsaTiger83 in financialised futures markets (agriculture for example) where you can borrow an infinite supply of $ @ 0.25% - risk management is for peasants. Do you think the price of wheat has doubled in a year because of supply and demand fundamentals ?
