    About this ebook

    The phrase "toxic assets" burst into ugly view, along with "subprime mortgages" during 2007. Thinking people knew, though, that every toxic asset was still an asset! Toxic Assets talks about almost five dozen "assets" which, in spite of their seeming toxicity, all have value in them; all but one (readers, can you find it?).
