  • Wall Street expects to sell more than $355 billion in asset-backed debt this year. Remember that conference in 'The Big Short'? It just drew a record 10,000.

The piece points out that these institutions, often referred to as "too big to fail," have benefited from government bailouts and regulatory changes that have allowed them to expand their operations.
