Some, perhaps many, Credit Default Swaps and other Derivatives are Repurchase Agreements.

Nope. They are totally different things. Repos are simply short-term loans collateralized by Treasuries or other securities.

Thank you. I had read a lot of articles before posting that reply, and it sure seemed like CDS and other derivatives were in the repo category. Looks like I read it wrong.
