IMH is one scary hedge fund of a company. At least they are required to do a pretty thorough disclosure. Ever actually read their statements?

They have expanded their assets at an extraordinary rate - more than doubled their balance sheet in the past year, boosting leverage from 15:1 a year ago to 20:1 now. What geniuses. Let's borrow billions at the short end of the curve and lend it out to lots of poor credit risks. Works pretty well... until it doesn't.

Good thing for them real estate only goes up, and we're not Japan. <s>
