A clever quote: Warren Buffet

Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction.

Derivatives, or contracts based on the price movements of underlying assets, declined to a gross market value of about $11 trillion at the end of 2017, according to the Bank for International Settlements. That total comes from the largely unregulated over-the-counter market, where most derivatives are traded. The level was a decline from $15 trillion at the end of 2016 and $13 trillion in mid-2017.
