... so , if IMF wants to leverage money they borrowed from other countries - where would they get the "leverage" money from ? - and if then IMF were to lend some of it to ie: Greece and then Greece could not pay it back , how would IMF pay it back to it's investors ?
I'm not sure if i understand it correctly , but it seems a bit silly of IMF to leverage any loans - especially when there is no guarantee that Greece will ever pay it back .
@artyfarty3 it seems to me that "leverage" is a good thing only when you have a 100% certainty of your investment making a profit - other ways it's just a HIGHWAY to bankruptcy ;)
as always, very straight forward explanation and very easy to understand what happened to all these big banks like LB and BS. Thanks professor for a great 2 min lecture :)

Is the leverage ratio likely to be regulated since the crash? Can we set an upper limit that reduces the likelyhood of a meltdown or public rescue without causing some of these firms to go under?
Is this not a huge scam to transfer public wealth into bankers hands through bonuses in the good times and bail outs in the bad- amplified by the banks leverage factor?
i wish you were my professor ! you rock i got it thanks
