Derivitives are a risk hedge. Essentially you trade a piece of your earning rate for a lower risk. Where the fun starts (and it always seems to ) is when one side starts to weaken one side of the transaction under the assumption that the market will move their way. If it does, BIG MONEY! However, if it moves away from you HUGE LOSSES.
Another factor in all of this is the requirement to mark to market investment assets whether sold or not.This can create big swings in values and destabilize an institution (Ref: Lehman Brothers).

How to Make a Million Dollars an Hour With hedge funds trading derivatives by automated computer driven trading. All to be bailed out by taxpayers to the tune of trillions of $$$$$ in our very corrupt political system. LOL !
