What Does Collateralized Debt Obligation – CDO Mean?
An investment-grade security backed by a pool of bonds, loans and other assets. CDOs do not specialize in one type of debt but are often non-mortgage loans or bonds.
Similar in structure to a collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) or collateralized bond obligation (CBO), CDOs are unique in that they represent different types of debt and credit risk. In the case of CDOs, these different types of debt are often referred to as ‘tranches’ or ‘slices’. Each slice has a different maturity and risk associated with it. The higher the risk, the more the CDO pays.

Let’s talk about people.
When we talk about people as individuals we are talking about biology, neuroscience, physiology, etc. We are talking about respiratory systems, circulatory systems, nervous systems, brain waves- in short we are studying the relationships between the different parts that make up a whole- a whole called “the person”.
When we talk about people in groups we are talking about sociology, economics, politics, religion, philosophy. We are talking about families, classes, rulers and ruled- in short we are studying the relations between individuals that make up a whole- a whole called “a society”.
