Meet Our Toxic Asset

Toxic assets — home mortgages packaged into complicated bonds that no one wanted to touch when the housing bubble collapsed — are starting to trade again. Planet Money wanted to map out how this chapter of financial history will end. So we chose to buy a toxic asset of our own.
