Leverage is indeed the problem. If you are a "large global IB" (or a hedge fund embedded in same) and you looked at recent volatility as giving license to lever up your positions, the notional amount of your trades becomes the issue.

But it was also concentration. The CDO tranches this particular fund was investing in were (obviously, ex-post) exposed to volatility tails that were not expected, or probably even quantifiable.

Believers believe and non-believers don't . No one can tell what will happen tomorrow but we want to get assurity which makes us feel more secure and so we want to believe in it. All the astrologers are taking advantage of this mentality.
