I think Planet Money also bought a mortgage backed security a while back when things had already gone south.
They tracked the houses involved and their history.
It was interesting to see the investment tied to specific homes, and etc.

#10Considering that the front-month oil contracts went negative today (paid to buy a barrel of oil), I think more (well funded and adept) players will try to hastily arrange more storage facilities. There's just no place to put the stuff right now.
It's quite difficult to turn-off an active well. Deep-water wells are all but impossible to stop.
