For all of us who are struggling to understand the complex causes and possiable solutions to the current financial crisis there's an excellent article from Forbes at: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/subprime-overview.asp?viewall=1

The article is full of links that will help the reader understand the language and background of the crisis.

For those of you who just want to call names and point fingers...don't bother to read it. It would be wasted on you anyway.

Im looking for opinions say from the average joe or jean..I have read it..No bashing on this thread..
