“Let me get this straight, you can buy a burrito on an interest-free instalment plan?” “That’s right, and we’re not even based in the Chipotle store.” “So, you finance this by packaging the burrito instalment loans into Burrito CDO A, which has part of Burrito CDO B and both get put into Burrito CDO C?” “Yeah. The original loans are backed by burritos. Chicke. Pork. Carne Asada. Whatever. But Burrito CDO C is a synthetic Burrito CDO. A CDO of Burrito CDOs.” “Ok, let’s say we have an underlying pool of $10,000 in burritos. How much money could be out there betting on instalment loans and your synthetic burrito CDOs?” “Probably $100,000,000.” “C’mon! How much bigger is the market for burrito instalment loans than actual edible real-life cheesy burritos?” “At least 100x.” “That is fucking crazy.” “No, it’s awesome.”
