A hedge fund recently conducted trades resembling those seen during the 2008 crisis, involving the sale of insurance on a loan portfolio to U.S. lenders and then redistributing that risk to investors. These re-securitization transactions are reminiscent of the complex financial products blamed for the 2008 crisis, indicating a revival of certain risky Wall Street practices. While the current deals come with more protections compared to crisis-era transactions, experts warn that they may still hide problems within the banking system, potentially making balance sheets appear healthier than they actually are.

In an episode of Suze Orman’s Women & Money podcast, a California woman sought advice on whether she would be responsible for her husband’s credit card debt if something happened to him. Orman explained that in community property states like California, spouses share assets and debts acquired during marriage equally, regardless of whose name is on them. This means the woman would likely be responsible for her husband's credit card debt incurred during their marriage if he passed away. It was emphasized that being financially savvy before marriage could prevent such situations, and prenuptial agreements provide an option to opt out of community property laws. Advice on handling a spouse's debt in community property states was also shared.
