credit default swap

(FINANCE) financial instrument in which buyer is someone who needs insurance against the possibility that a borrower will default on a loan. In that case, the counterparty is whoever receives the CDS premiums, and pays out in the event of default.

WHY IT'S BAD
Loans are usually made by either commercial banks (in which a loan officer is supposed to make a professional assessment of risk of default before handing over the money), or by investment banks (which underwrite securities like bonds). If the borrower has a high risk of default, then the loan should not be made--period.

Credit default swaps were a stupid method of supposedly turning a bad loan into a "risky" (and potentially high-yield) "investment"; they were in reality a strategy for fraud. Since portfolio managers knew they were bundling securitized loans that contained mostly crap, they would arrange credit default swaps and cash in when the borrowers defaulted.

What the bankers hit on was a sort of insurance policy: a third party would assume the risk of the debt going sour, and in exchange would receive regular payments from the bank, similar to insurance premiums. JPMorgan would then get to remove the risk from its books and free up the reserves. The scheme was called a "credit default swap," and it was a twist on something bankers had been doing for a while to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates and commodity prices.

credit monger 

One who lines themselves up to receive credit, or makes sure that every ounce of credit for their actions is well recognized and possibly even documented. #creditmonger

Milton: I swear all these people who make movies are credit mongers
Peter: I hear you, not like you see my name appearing on the credits of the 500 TPS reports that I've proof-read!

credit card player 

A person that resorts to using real money so as to buy their way thru an online game in this way they can purchase better tools, weaponry, XP, etc. thus gaining an unfair advantage over other players who are earning progress by actually playing the game.

While playing Band of Heroes on facebook, a player posted the comment, " WTF, I been working hard at this game for six months getting no where and that other dude started last week and is in the top ten already ?" To which another player replies, "Yeah, thats a credit card player, a loser that wins, LOL"

Creed-Bomb 

This is an act named after the band Creed, but can utilize other bands as well. Creed-Bombing involves loading up a jukebox queue or playlist with as many songs by Creed, Nickelback, Hinder, Daughtry, Hoobastank, and other similar rock bands as possible.

We arrived at Kilroys and immediately Creed-Bombed the place with a little "My Sacrifice" and "With Arms Wide Open."

Carbon Credits 

A SCHEME and a SCAM.

A SCHEME by the rich to continue their polluting guilt free, while the poor will have to make sacrifices for the environment so the rich can continue to pollute.

A SCAM because there is no independent auditing/verification the scheme is helping the environment.

Anyone can sell carbon credits, but how can it be verified they performed the promised tasks? How much was actually spent on reducing carbon emmisions?

Screw the environment, I'm gonna carbon credit my way to becoming a billionaire!
