So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
He said,
 If you're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right

CLO - The Shadow Banks Dirty Laundry?

A reader comment:
To me the ETFs are just passive fund managers. They will not make active decisions, but the traders in the products will.
Before the 2008 crisis, the bulk of CDOs were collateralized by MBS (mortgage backed securities) ABS (asset backed security). Depository banks "securitize" loans they originate, often in the form of CDO securities, because this removes the loans from their books. Security buying investor banks replenish the dealer banks' capital while taking the risk.
Today, a new paradigm, because it is different this time. Activity in the leveraged loan markets surpassed the levels recorded before the crisis, as 55% est. of CDO consist of leveraged loans. Read that again and reflect.
