Guest guest Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Lehman Brothers was leveraged at about 20 to 1 before it fell. Look at the damage that caused to the economy. The Federal Reserve is leveraged at 50 to 1. Much of its real "assets" are mortgage instruments, you know, the ones that nearly brought down the economy a couple of years ago? If the real estate market keeps crashing, then those instruments could fail and make the Fed default. Any guess what will happen to the dollar when the bank behind it fails?http://www.cqcabusinessresearch.com/201 ... hman-bros/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
