The Big Short

[sonatine]

Amazing book that looks like its going to be an amazing movie in the near future.

Pretty much eviscerates the entire bond investment market.

TL;DR... aspie weirdo with no interest in sucking Wall Street's dick starts tucking into the hugely-pervasive subprime loan market and cries foul, then takes it one step further and sets up an investment fund predicated completely on the assumption that the whole thing is a ponzi scheme and about to go supernova.

...He makes billions of dollars for his clients when the whole thing goes supernova.


Fucking great read.

Been years since I read this book. But you would identify more closely with Michael Burry. Obsessive & reclusive. Studied medicine not because he liked it but because it was easy.

Would stay up between 14 hour hospital rounds and take apart his computer to make it run faster.

They had him see a psychologist who diagnosed him as bipolar. Autistic?

Dude had a glass eye. Kept popping out when he tried sports.

Reading financial reports was a good day for him. How you translate this to the screen idk.

Skip to latter half of this article for a character sketch of this guy.

Book is fantastic. Always timely. About to dust off Liars Poker again.

More like 2009, took a while for most people to grasp what the fuck happened. Your point is valid though. This is a dated subject at this point.

A movie with probably 75% of America's male acting talent is coming out soon and it's already a dated subject.


Ladies, gentlemen.

Stop acting like such a mong; the movie trailer, like the book, is bad. Thr movie will flop flat on its arse, because people don't give a fuck about the financial crisis anymore and have moved on.

Really. It's pertinent every day we twist & turn on the will she or won't she raise rates.

We are are still unwinding from this mess and will be for years to come.

We never really paid the appropriate price imo. Economy was pumped with painkillers and we can't wean ourselves off of them.

Feels good now though, huh?

cant say it's true for everyone, but a huge majority of us kept our jobs and houses after 2008 because of the actions of the government and the Fed back then. Now we are Japan and will likely not see true boom times again as we live with the prospects of another big collapse considering our huge debt levels.

You really can't estimate how bad things would have been if we did nothing. Shit would have got Real real real fucking bad. But now that we are 7-8 years out I can't help but look back and say should we have just let the collapse happen knowing that by now we would be back on the upswing?
