The CDO was, in effect, a credit laundering service for the residents of Lower Middle Class America. For Wall Street it was a machine that turned lead into gold.
Michael Lewis (The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine)
Zakonisht ne raste te tilla permendim fjalen 'tradhti'. Sepse cdo tradhti, s'ka rendesi me ke a me cfare, zvogelon vartesine dhe te nxjerr nga kontrolli. Sepse 'tradhtia' eshte ne rradhe te pare 'ndryshim'.
Anatoly Toss
Prej cdo gazi-e hidherimi Prej cdo gazi-e hidherimi Mbetet pas vetem kujtimi. Ah! dh'i shkreti-mallengjimi.

Cdo gjë mund të kalohet në këtë botë të mallkuar. Ndrydhi të gjitha ndjenjat, vdis nga brenda dhe cdo gjë do të kaloj lehtë. Vdis për së gjalli, ashtu sic bëjnë më të shumtët e njerëzve, në të shumtën e kohës. Besoj se kjo është rruga më e mire.
Ernest Hemingway (To Have and Have Not)
I lumturi eshte nje manekin i ndjenjes se jetes. Ai i ben vetem paraden e modes, por nuk e zoteron. Drita nuk shkelqen ne drite; ajo shkelqen ne erresire. Gezuar per erresiren! Kush ka ndenjur nje here ne mes te shtrengates, atij s'i hyn me ne pune nje makine e vogel elektrizimi. Mallkuar qofte shtrengata! Bekuar qofte kjo cikez jete qe kemi! Dhe sepse e dashurojme, s'duam ta japim me kamate! Duam ta shkaterrojme! Pini, djema! Ka yje qe ndricojne cdo nate, megjithese kane plasur para dhjete mije vjetesh drite! Pini, sa eshte koha!
Erich Maria Remarque (Three Comrades)
Ne raste te tilla, ajo behej mjaft e bukur. Syte, qe gjer atehere kishin ndjekur tymin e cigares, i dritesoheshin mallengjyeshem. Mollezat, gjithashtu. I binte ne ato caste nje hir qe te trembte,te rrezonte. Te rrezonte? C'do te thoshte kjo? Nuk di ta shpjegoj. Desha te them, nje bukuri qe te kepuste ne mes, sic i thone fjales. Ai, gjithashtu dukej sikur permendej. Porosiste nje whiskey tjeter. Pastaj vazhdonin te flisnin prape ne gjuhen e tyre, gjer pas mesnates, atehere kur ngriheshin per t'u ngjitur me lart, ne kat.
Ismail Kadare (The Accident)
Nen flamujt e melankolise Ne vendin tone kudo valojne flamujt e nje melankolie te trishtueshme... ...dhe askush s'mund te thote se ketu rron nje popull qe nderton dicka te re. Aty ketu ne hijet e flamujve mund te shifet nje mund, nje perpjekje e madhe permbi vdekje per te pjelle dicka te madhe, per te qite ne drite nje xhind! Por,(o ironi) nga ajo perpjekje lind vetem nje mi. Dhe keshtu kjo komedi na plas diellin e gazit, nsa prej marazit pelcasim. Ne prakun e cdo banese ku ka ndonj shenj jetese valon nga nje flamur melankolie te trishtueshme.

Danny’s trading life was man versus man, but this felt more like man versus nature: The synthetic CDO had become a synthetic natural disaster.

Looking for bad bonds inside a CDO was like fishing for crap in a Port-O-Let: The question wasn’t whether you’d catch some but how quickly you’d be satisfied you’d caught enough.

But the more we looked at what a CDO really was, the more we were like, Holy shit, that’s just fucking crazy. That’s fraud. Maybe you can’t prove it in a court of law. But it’s fraud.” It

Cdo gjë ndryshon. Edhe në grahmat e fundit sikur të jesh, duhet të mundohesh t'ia nisësh nga e para. Por ajo që bëhet, nuk mund të zhbëhet më. është njëlloj si uji që, kur e përziejmë me verë, nuk mund ta marrim dot më mbrapsht.

Cdo liber, cdo vellim qe shikon ketu ka shpirtin e vet, shpirtin e atij qe e ka shkruar dhe te atyre qe e kane lexuar, te atij qe ka jetuar e te atij qe ka enderruar permes tij. Sa here qe nje liber nderron zot, sa here qe nje veshtrim i ri fluturon mbi fletet e tij, shpirti i librit rimerr fuqi.

We fought with those cocksuckers all the way down,” says one Deutsche Bank trader. And, all the way down, the debt collectors at Deutsche Bank sensed the bond traders at Morgan Stanley misunderstood their own trade. They weren’t lying; they genuinely failed to understand the nature of the subprime CDO.

March 2008 the stock market had finally grasped what every mortgage bond salesman had long known: Someone had lost at least $240 billion. But who? Morgan Stanley still owned $13 billion or so in CDOs, courtesy of Howie Hubler. The idiots in Germany owned some, Wing Chau and CDO managers like him owned some

Hodha syte perjashta nga varrezat e lagura prej shiut dhe pashe guret e varreve, qe ishin mbuluar me gjethe te venitura dhe te felliqura. Mjegulla, porsi nje kafshe e zberdhulet, ua kish thithur gjate nates lengun e gjelber gjetheve te pemeve; tani ato vareshin te mekura e te nemitura neper dege; cdo gulsh ere, sado i lehte, kepuste nga nje dhe e rrezonte ngadale ose e fluturonte tutje... Dhe une, ashtu papritur e pakujtuar, si nje te therur te mprehte e mizore, e ndjeva per here te pare qe po afrohej ndarja, qe ajo po behej e vertete, po aq e vertete sa vjeshta, e cila ish zvarritur fshehurazi neper ato dege pemesh atje perjashta dhe kish lene pas gjurmet e saj te verdha.

In early July, Morgan Stanley received its first wake-up call. It came from Greg Lippmann and his bosses at Deutsche Bank, who, in a conference call, told Howie Hubler and his bosses that the $4 billion in credit default swaps Hubler had sold Deutsche Bank’s CDO desk six months earlier had moved in Deutsche Bank’s favor. Could Morgan Stanley please wire $1.2 billion to Deutsche Bank by the end of the day? Or, as Lippmann actually put it—according to someone who heard the exchange—Dude, you owe us one point two billion.

This was the engine of doom.” He’d draw a picture of several towers of debt. The first tower was the original subprime loans that had been piled together. At the top of this tower was the triple-A tranche, just below it the double-A tranche, and so on down to the riskiest, triple-B tranche—the bonds Eisman had bet against. The Wall Street firms had taken these triple-B tranches—the worst of the worst—to build yet another tower of bonds: a CDO. A collateralized debt obligation. The reason they’d done this is that the rating agencies, presented with the pile of bonds backed by dubious loans, would pronounce 80 percent of the bonds in it triple-A. These bonds could then be sold to investors—pension funds, insurance companies—which were allowed to invest only in highly rated securities.

Goldman Sachs itself—and so Goldman was in the position of selling bonds to its customers created by its own traders, so they might bet against them. Secondly, there was a crude, messy, slow, but acceptable substitute for Mike Burry’s credit default swaps: the actual cash bonds. According to a former Goldman derivatives trader, Goldman would buy the triple-A tranche of some CDO, pair it off with the credit default swaps AIG sold Goldman that insured the tranche (at a cost well below the yield on the tranche), declare the entire package risk-free, and hold it off its balance sheet. Of course, the whole thing wasn’t risk-free: If AIG went bust, the insurance was worthless, and Goldman could lose everything. Today Goldman Sachs is, to put it mildly, unhelpful when asked to explain exactly what it did, and this lack of transparency extends to its own shareholders. “If a team of forensic accountants went over Goldman’s books, they’d be shocked at just how good Goldman is at hiding things,

Po behen pothuaj tri jave nga shetitja e nje Majit, por bashke me keto po behen edhe tri jave nga pershendetja tallese dhe e fundit e Poles. Mendoj, mendoj dhe habitem me vete: A me te vertete me ka dashuruar Pola? Atehere cfare dreq eshte kjo dashuri rinie? Une po! Kam dashuri, d.m.th., gezohem kur gezohen te tjeret dhe deshperohem, kur deshperohen ata. Mirepo, kete fare gezimi e deshperimi e ndiej edhe per cdo njeri te larget, madje edhe per Polen e per te gjithe. . ., por asnje nuk dua te kem pa pa perpara. . . I dua, por malli s’me merr! E shoh njerine si njeri per t’u pare, por jo per t’u adhuruar. Njeriu, qe do te adhurohet — qe do te dashurohet, desha te them — prej te gjitheve a prej nje njeriu s’eshte lindur ende. . ., por as qe ka per t’u lindur ndonje i tille! Pra, po them te drejten, se une e doja dhe e dua me gjithe zemer Polen, por me nje dashuri familjare, ashtu si i dua dhe motrat e mia. Sa here qe ka rene puna per te kercyer dance me te a te fjalosesha per ndonje gje, gjithnje e nderoja si njeri, pa anuar mendja per keq. E them kete, sepse ta dashurosh tjetrin ose tjetren per nje pune shtazore, atehere humbet cdo qellim njerezor dhe pastaj eshte e kote te dashurosh! Por ja qe doli ne shesh: -Te dua! - me tha si pa gje te keqe. - Fort mire! Me do? Edhe une te dua! U mbarua puna. Mirpo: - Pse nuk me dorezohesh? Ja kete mister nuk mund ta zgjidh. Per te dashuruar si moter a si njeri e kam dashuruar, por per ta dashuruar si kafshe, as qe me ka shkuar mendja. Por Pola me paska dashur per burre te saj. . . per jeten e saj! Ne qofte se ishte ndonje tjeter ne vendin tim, kete gje do ta quante si dashuri rinie; mirepo une nuk e quaj, dhe as qe kam pse ta quaj ashtu. Po, mik, nuk e quaj: mbasi u njohem mire me Polen, ajo eshte sjelle me shume miqesi me mua, aq sa me se fundi pati guximin perpara familjes se saj te me jepte nje dhurate. Por kjo s’ka ndonje rendesi, mbasi dhurata nuk eshte gje tjeter, vecse nje shprehje adhurimi njerezor, nje pasterti zemre per njeri-tjetrin. Me vone miqesia u kthye jo ne dashuri familjare, por ne dashuri hice, ne dashuri te rreme, se brenda saj fshihej: “Te me dorrezohesh!”. Ajo e mendonte jeten, te ardhmen e saj te siguruar fare mire me mua; vec kesaj, nga qe jam i pashem dhe terheqes, ajo donte te mertohej me mua. Thurr e c’thur enderra lumturie, enderra martese. Shiko tani se ku qendronte dashuria e Poles: tek e ardhmja e saj: eshte i mire dhe nuk do vuaj: pra: ka dashuri! Kete “te me dorezohesh!”, e mbajti te mbyllur ne zemren e saj shume muaj, me shprese, se do t’ia thoja une me pare. Mirpo, kur pa, se s’ia varja veshin fare per kete pune, atehere u detyrua te ma thote vete kete gje. Por, fatkeqesi per te! - Pse nuk me dorezohesh? . . . - Pse nuk mund. . . pse kam tjeter! - Keto fjale te mia i rane si bombe. E po atehere? Atehere gjithe shpresa e saj e bukur u varros sa pa lindur dhe pastaj, duke mos ditur se si ta mbronte veten, filloi te qaje: qante zemra e saj me lejen e arsyes per lumturine e enderruar, qe i vdiq. Puna e saj eshte porsi nje vdekje. Kur vdes njeriu, qajme pse pa ate na cenohet disi rruga e jetes. Keshtu pra, Pola, nuk qau dashurine time, por kujtimin e lumturise se saj! Dhe me se fundi iku! Sikur te me dashuronte me te vertete, Pola, edhe kur ia tregova lajmin e fejeses, ajo duhej te me dashuronte ashtu sikurse e dua une, me gjithe qe jam i lidhur me Aferditen. Mirepo, ajo jo, me dashuronte deri sa e shihte se po shkonte mbare interesi i saj, por kur e pa se ai ngeci atehere ngeci dhe dashuria e saj.

Take a typical three-hundred-million-dollar CMO. It would be divided into three tranches, or slices of a hundred million dollars each. Investors in each tranche received interest payments. But the owners of the first tranche received all principal repayments from all three hundred million dollars of mortgage bonds held in trust. Not until first tranche holders were entirely paid off did second tranche investors receive any prepayments. Not until both first and second tranche investors had been entirely paid off did the holder of a third tranche certificate receive prepayments.

Kur të më jesh e zemëruar Ti m`u rrëfeve për sëpari shkrepëtimtare në stoli, Un` ëndërrova se në zemër po më valon një mall i ri. O,c`ka që m`u venit qipalla me kaq të ngjethur të pafaj? Haj!shkretëtirë-e-zemrës`s`ime!Dhe haj!e zeza jetë,haj! Posi një yll i perënduar më pate humbur gjith më larg...

Pas kaqe kohë dhemshurije,ndaj vëndi-i lum as eja sot! Në gjirin t`ënd të llaftaruar m`a lerë mëndjen t`a humbas, Të ndjej si zemra më gatohet plot me dëshir` e plot me gas.

A volte il linguaggio della finanza è davvero oscuro e nasconde la verità. Durante implosione del 2008 siamo stati invasi da espressioni come "cdo sintetici con tranche mezzanine di rmbs". Più spesso, però, il linguaggio economico è complicato perché la realta che descrive è complicata. La mancanza di trasparenza non è necessariamente sinonimo di malafede e ha dei corrispettivi anche in altri campi, per esempio nella cucina e nell'enologia. Il termine francese baveuse significa, letteralmente, "bavosa" che, in contesto gastronomico, converrete che non suona benissimo. Baveuse, però, si usa per descrivere la consistenza ideale di una omelette, dove l'esterno è cotto e l'interno è fermo ma ancora leggermente molle. È una parola utile da sapere, perché aiuta a capire di cosa si parla, ma il prezzo da pagare è che se ne può parlare solo con persone che conoscono il termine. Anche il linguaggio dei soldi si esprime in questo modo. È un linguaggio potente ed efficace, ma allo stesso tempo esclusivo e impermeabile. Le spiegazioni difficilmente attecchiscono, perché una lunga serie di spiegazioni può essere compressa all'interno di una locuzione o anche in una sola parola.

For we labor diligently to write, to apersuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by bgrace that we are saved, after all we can cdo.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Book of Mormon | Doctrine and Covenants | Pearl of Great Price)
The pyramidlike structure of a collateralized debt obligation is a beautiful thing—if you are fascinated by the intricacies of financial engineering. A banker creates a CDO by assembling pieces of debt according to their credit ratings and their yields. The mistake made by AIG and others who were lured by them was believing that the ones with the higher credit ratings were such a sure bet that the companies did not bother to set aside much capital against them in the unlikely event that the CDO would generate losses.
Andrew Ross Sorkin (Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System from Crisis — and Themselves)
Eisman no tenía interés en escuchar los discursos de otras personas; no tenía interés en asistir a la mesa redonda y oír comentarios superficiales. Quería sesiones privadas con conocedores del mercado. Lippmann le había presentado a la gente del Deutsche Bank que vendía CDO a los inversores, y aquellos serviciales empleados del Deutsche Bank habían organizado reuniones de Eisman y sus socios con los intermediarios financieros del mercado de bonos: los prestadores hipotecarios, los bancos que empaquetaban los préstamos hipotecarios en bonos hipotecarios, los banqueros que reempaquetaban los bonos en CDO, y las agencias de calificación que bendecían cada etapa del proceso. Las únicas partes interesadas que faltaban en la conferencia eran los prestatarios últimos, los compradores de viviendas estadounidenses; pero en cierto sentido hasta ellos estaban presentes, sirviendo las bebidas, haciendo girar las ruletas y tirando los dados. «Las Vegas estaba en auge —decía Danny—. Y los propietarios de viviendas estaban en las jodidas mesas.» Un amigo de Danny regresó de una noche de juerga con la noticia de que había conocido a una stripper con cinco segundas hipotecas distintas.

Notice the irony: in a world ideologically dominated by monetary conservatism, and ringing with long sermons about the perils of printing money, the effective money supply had been turned over to privateers [private banks] bent on flooding the markets with money of their own making [ex. CDOs, which act as stores of value + means of exchange]. How did this differ, really, from handing the Fed’s printing presses over to the mafia? There is not much difference, is the honest answer.
Yanis Varoufakis (The Global Minotaur: America, the True Origins of the Financial Crisis and the Future of the World Economy)
The CDOs that sliced up and then spliced together disparate debts belonging to a heterogeneous multitude of families and businesses were put together on the basis of certain formulae, whose purpose was, supposedly, to calculate their value and their riskiness. These formulae were developed by financial engineers working for Wall Street (e.g. for J. P. Morgan, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, etc.). To render the formulae solvable, certain assumptions had to be made. First and foremost was the assumption that the probability that one slice of debt within a CDO would go bad was largely unrelated to the probability of a similar default by the other slices in the same CDO. That is, it was assumed that what happened in 2007–08 was…impossible! That it was unnecessary to factor in the possibility of some crisis, during which Bob lost his house for reasons that increased the chances that Jane would lose her job and eventually also default on her mortgage.

Now, picture a bank that’s financing CDOs for a hedge fund through Repo transactions. Suppose the floor dropped-out from under the CDO market, like it did in 2007, and the bank issued a margin call to the hedge fund. Suppose the hedge fund told the bank, “We will give you your cash as soon as we sell some CDOs. Maybe next week.” That doesn’t work. But the Repo counterparty has an out. No need to wait. Once there is technically a default or bankruptcy, the bank can take over the hedge fund’s positions and liquidate them. Then they cross their fingers that they had taken enough margin to cover the losses on the forced sale! That brings up a good question. Why are there runs on banks and shadow banks? The question is easily answered when you look at what banks and shadow banks have in common. They lend long and borrow short. It’s the age-old business model flaw of the banking system. They are lending money long-term and borrowing money short-term. A bank writes a 30-year mortgage loan to a homeowner and borrows money from their depositors to cover the loan. Remember, the depositors can show up any day and withdraw their money. Unfortunately, this same bank business model flaw extends to the shadow banks. They also lend long and borrow short. Just like a bank, a REIT’s MBS portfolio might have an average weighted maturity of, say, seven years.
