#29 Why don't more Americans know about the quadrillion dollar derivatives bubble?

Could you mention rehypothecation? If people knew what it was and how widespread it is they would be running down the street screaming.

Rehypothecation

"Rehypothecation is a practice that occurs principally in the financial markets, where a bank or other broker-dealer reuses the collateral pledged by its clients as collateral for its own borrowing."
