Imagine you were one of the big shorts. What would you do?
I don't know but I can't wait for the sequel.
I would...short...i guess
>>62047241Why do that when you could Shart
I would listen to what they have to say, and that's what no one did.
>>62043882>>62043913>>62047241>>62047242>>62047244I like the scene with the guy "This is it!! I'm telling you this is it!!!" and "The music has stopped and I dont hear a thing" the most
>>62047267That was Margin Call
The movie was okay but It felt like they didn't know at times the direction of the movie. Like with those scenes with Margot Robbie or the french cool that unalived himself trying to be like the wolf of wallstreet, then the 2 Young ones, the Office Guy and brat pitt with their wigs... And I doubt that the average normie was able to understand anything and what a short is
Short bigly
>>62043913Who is suitable to starr as that guy that says "We've won like we've never won before!"
>>62047241would you do it big?
>>62043882hilariously this movie has lost more plebbitors untold fortunes that anything else combinedi still remember like its yesterday when covid hit... reddit was going all in short after the big drop. they had all kinds of theories about the entire system collapsing and some shit about oil tankersas we all know, the entire market v shape recovered in less than a year and is now remembered as one of the best buying opportunities of all timea similar type thing happened last spring with the tariff crash although not at the same scale. a lot of biz was impacted as well. many of you kept repeating the "duuuude america lost everyone' trust" line which is fucking weird and seemed scripted. the s&p500 then ripped +20% and hit aths by summer time '25why am i telling you this? you are not smarter than the market. you are not a character in the movie. buy low and sell high
>>62047273>unalived himself get the fuck off this board
>>62047267I also liked this scene more than anything that happened in the Big Short
>>62047906I like this board and I'm not living. Sorry, unc, but we are the main demographics now and you're not part of "it" anymore. So maybe you are the one who should leave, boomer
>>62047901I did make $170 from that. Not bad for a first time investor. The problem is knowing when to stop syphoning and when to leave a dummy dollar for short sellers to beat up for years all the way down so they don't fuck up your other stocks.
>>62043882>times you acted like the big short
>>62047242>the big SHART
>>62051828Yeah and not every zoomer talks as gay and retarded as you. Maybe you should go and "unalive" yourself
>>62047901The system is fraudulent so never bet against it
>>62043882This movie sucked.
>>62043882>>62052334Wolf Of Wallstreet sucked too.Margin Call was okay.
>>62052254Your old, unc. Go play with your kids
>>62047241>>62043913post your positions
>>62043882Lol even in 2008 is not like you could go and get a CDS just because you want one. Right now what seems to be "shortable" is private credit which is private for a reason.
>>62047267”To me it sounds like the music has stopped” was indeed a kino moment in Margin Call.
>>62047273>unalived himselfCable get cut off or something?
>>62052396This is 4chan, we say an hero. Also he didn't probably become an hero, he was down as a witness against Epstein and very shortly became dead
Damn, the cast was incredible. Hope Christian Bale will be back as Burry for the sequel. They should also cast Seth Green as Sam Altman, Jackie Chan as NVIDIA leatherjacket man, and sir Ben Kingsley as Sata Nutella.
>>62047268>>62051815Margin call was the patrician's big short and is certified >>>/biz/ kino.
Shilling Pi again:Watch Pi (1998). It's very /biz/.https://youtu.be/jo18VIoR2xU?si=PvQdUrfSqQ2qbV54
>>62047267I like the part where he said "Im not fucking leaving!"
Midwit movie
>>62051828>I'm not livingG..ghost post
My favorite part is when the office faggot says "they'll probably blame the immigrants for this"
>>62043882star in a movie about myself
>>62052324>The system is fraudulent so never bet against itexactly my point anyone who doesn't realize this is not living in reality >>62052337>Wolf Of Wallstreet sucked too.the first part is great tho, mcconaughey beating his chest and giving leo advice was gold
>>62043882>>I hope nobody blames the poor and immigrants for this crashWhy would I do that? Every name behind every single fuck-up in the movie was Jewish.
I'd buy pants, finally.
>>62043882>OH EMMM GEE THIS IS JUST LIKE A BIG HOLLYWOOD MOVIE IM GONNA BE MATT DEMON
This board hates on this movie because they're chuds who can't admit they literally fell for it by blaming minorities for the recession and this movie calls out that chud behavior
>>62047901Reddit Zoomers are dip buyers par excellence. I don't associate apes with shorting and no one else does, you're just calling what you don't like reddit.They've also been blown the fuck out every dip you mentioned.
>>62058621What minorities?
>>62058659The ones that qualified for government backed mortages that chuds blame the recession on
>>62047906post hands pls sar
>>62058667But those aren't minorities. Single mothers? Everything non white? So your chud theory fails. I like the movie by the way.
>>62058621>the chud strawman was real in mindlmao bunkertroons always out themselves
>>62057562I haven't watched it in 10 years. I just remember not liking it.They go overboard with the drama, sex and partying and almost completely ignore the actual financial part ls of the movie. I hate partying and sex scenes in movies though, I think it's filler for lazy writers/producers/directors.
>>62058839kekDifferent movie Anon
>>62058744I don't understand, it's a common talking point amongst chuds that low income subprime home buyers were minorities.>>62058780Here's your theme song sirhttps://youtu.be/72wwmeupans?si=wBL4-thUHKof444d
>>62058621Uhh... I blame the government for putting in regulations and incentives to force banks into making those loans in the first place. I don't blame "minorities". I do however blame individuals for their own retarded actions. If you have a 90 IQ, work a wagie blue-collar job and have a 550 credit score because you suck with money. If you decide to take a loan, then lose any equity you had in your house because a bank offered you a 30yr fixed rate mortgage (thanks to the government) that you could barely afford and then you lost your job and lost the house 6 months later, that's your fault.
>>62058852I'm talking about Wolf of Wallstreet.
>>62058863>N-No it was the government!The government didn't force banks to make risky uncollateralized trades with each other, which is why you don't hear about every single time someone defaults on their house because thats just the cost of business. Good job self identifying yourself as a chud incel minority hater
>>62058856While they at the same time proclaim that in total, sane, healthy, and heterosexual whites have become the true minority. This thought is pure Chud.
>>62058668>post hands pls saruhh what?? how the fuck are getting indian guy out of thatyou can gtfo as well zooomie
>>62058891Yes, I'm sure the CRA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had nothing to do with any of this.>uncollateralizedThe collateral was the shitty mortgages the government essentially forced banks to loan...
>>62058941>The collateral was the shitty mortgages that the government forced banks to loanNo it wasn't. It's pretty widely regarded that both Bear Stearns and AIG collapsed due to their credit trading divisions, which were products entirely collateralized by their financial institution counterparties who sold way more credit protection than they actually had the money to back when a credit event happened. Maybe you should read up chuddie
>>62058856You have an absolute obsession with people that quite simply do not exist in reality. Get off the internet
>>62059074I've met plenty of chuds in real life schizo!
>>62059000Person 1 attempts to "debunk" Person 2 by focusing on the technical failure of AIG and Bear Stearns, but his argument contains several logical and factual holes:1. The "Uncollateralized" FallacyPerson 1 claims Bear Stearns and AIG collapsed due to "uncollateralized trades." This is technically wrong. The Credit Default Swaps (CDS) sold by AIG were insurance contracts. While AIG failed because they didn't post enough collateral when the underlying bonds dropped in value, the "products" themselves were entirely tied to the value of Subprime Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS). If the government-backed housing bubble hadn't popped, those "uncollateralized trades" would have remained profitable. You cannot separate the "bet" from the "asset" being bet on.2. Mistaking Symptoms for the DiseasePerson 1 argues that the trades between banks were the problem. However, these trades were a derivative of the housing market. If there are no shitty mortgages (Person 2’s point), there are no shitty CDOs to trade. Person 1 is blaming the thermometer for the fever.3. Ignoring the "Cost of Business" LogicPerson 1 says a default is just "the cost of business." This ignores Scale. A few defaults are a cost of business; 7 million defaults are a systemic collapse. Person 1 fails to address why the defaults happened all at once, which leads back to Person 2's point about a government-inflated housing bubble that lured in millions of unqualified buyers.4. Ad Hominem WeaknessBy resorting to "chud," "incel," and "minority hater," Person 1 concedes the intellectual high ground. He stops arguing economics and starts arguing identity, which fails to address the actual mechanics of the CRA or GSEs that Person 2 brought up.
>>62059134>You cannot separate the "bet" from the "asset" being bet on.Wrong because similar skewed credit strategies also were failing and posting large losses>there are no shitty CDOs to tradeWrong because CDO's could and we're being made of multiple different underlyings>7 million defaults are a systemic collapse. Person 1 fails to address why the defaults happened all at onceAnd yet plenty of markets have had similar notional default values and have been completely fine. Loan delinquency rates hit similar highs in the late 80's for banks and did not cause a systematic collapse, because this was systemic due to credit portfolios not loan delinquency lol>Ad hominemYes you are a chud minority hater, who apparently can't do better than AI slop
>>62047267I like when the jester said “it’s only money” and lit the stack of t bills on fire“Everything burns!” He said
>>62059092>changes ad hominem hoping for more effectSure, you have
>>62059134>If the government-backed housing bubble hadn't popped, those "uncollateralized trades" would have remained profitable.ChadGPT thinks ponzi based bubbles are good
>Well fellas I guess the shorts really have gotten biggerWhat did they mean by this?
