See page 3-15 it had 35 Trillion notional Derivatives. Now how much collateral would you need?? Lets just use something ridiculous say one percent. Thats 350 Billion in collateral Now something more realistic. Say .05 or five percent thats 1.75 Trillion of the Derivatives book only. Not including "the Assets book" Derivatives are Bets. But you still need real currency to place those bets or you may get a margin call.

IMHO

ALL IN OR NOTHING.

CAUTION: DON'T TAKE MY POSITIONS AS ADVICE. I LIKE RISK. IT CAN BE YOUR BEST FRIEND. THE PROBLEM MAY LAY WHEN YOU CAN NO LONGER GAUGE YOUR BEST FRIEND. AND ABANDON YOU.
