Total return swap
I listened to this WSJ podcast about recent block selling from some banks caused by a total return swap.
Apparently, it is possible to structure financial instruments into various forms as long as there are counter parities on each side.
In that particular case, a bank purchased a set of stocks and swapped the variable return (dividends and capital gains/losses) with a fixed return, and had to sell the assets when the counter party failed to pay for capital losses, causing further downward spiral.

Animated logo
This is an experiment with Spark logo-maker and Fresco motion.
I plan to add an animation driven by a black-white Character Animator puppet.
