Kirk Greene: When the Tide Goes Out, Leverage Can Leave Investors Swimming Naked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Billionaire businessman Warren Buffett used variations of the nearby line in his shareholder letters during the 1990s and 2000s to describe financial risks. It’s just as relevant today. The recent near-collapse of high-flying hedge fund Situational Awareness offers a vivid reminder — and a chance to better understand the power and danger of leverage.

After writing several times about U.S. budget deficits and the national debt that just crossed the $40 trillion mark, it seemed worthwhile to look into the City of Santa Barbara’s budget. The city’s budget is available online as an interactive digital tool and, a
