Greed was the sole reason why subprime mortgage mess ocurred in the US. Big financial institutions, hedge funds, gave credit to people having low credit score in order to earn more returns and thus in the process inviting more risk to their credit exposure. This is precisely what happened and happened with vengence, hitting stocks especially financial stocks across the globe! Credit risk containment measurements needs an overhauling before anything happens again in the credit markets.
