This is where traditional finance pays a big role, other than real estate, there are very few assets that a personal investor can have 10:1 leverage on, now the reason that banks and institutions can leverage assets to a higher level than an average investor is because the banks and institutions are regulated very heavily, and if they have losses (with the exception of the TARP bailouts) they are much more likely to absorb those losses.
