Writing A Brief Report

Write a brief report on the factors that led to the global financial crisis in 2007-2009? a).Explain also wha?



Successful use of Engineering and math in Finances led to a demand in derivatives to provide hedged investments allowing for profit with very little to no risk. You can buy a stock and short a derivative or vice versa depending on the price relationships between the two and guarantee profit over a wide range of price movement both up and down. Since the probabilities cancel out mathematically, not too much concern was given to how sound the derivatives or the underlying securities were, they simply had to exist and there had to be a market for them for arbitrage to occur. The high demand prompted the creation of ever more complex and risky derivatives.

From a regulatory standpoint, a republican bill voted in along partisan lines and signed into law by Clinton pretty much defined anything named a swap as being unregulated by law hence there was no requirement for the derivatives to be reasonable products in themselves so long as they were called swaps, most notably the Credit Default Swaps. This was the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000. Many blame Clinton's escapades with a certain intern as having diluted his influence to the point where he could not afford to veto that bill.
