If you are anything like me, you like pictures. You like visualization. Concepts and problems must be graphed, color coded, or drawn out for me to have a clear handle on things. If you are interested, for your own self-education, on how the credit crisis exploded (or imploded), here is a nice video that explains how it all relates to one another. I’ve been asking siblings who are all in banking and insurance to better explain it to me. While I’m still not there, this video helped quite a bit. It’s basic and explains popular banking jargon. Also, it has funny animations that made me giggle.
