      Technically it did. People were screaming that there was a problem for years. This story makes it look like a few people were the only ones to see what was coming. Lots and lots of people knew. No one listened. So...even if there was a movie...it would have been ignored like everyone and everything else.

      Nothing would have been different. People still support the same kinds of policies by voting in the same corrupt politicians. Now, more than ever, markets are being manipulated by politics. Also Hollywood has a huge responsibility in all of this as it supports exactly these politicians.
      The movie was also never meant to prevent anything like that from happening or happening again. All it was for is capitalizing of the crisis and the stupidity of the people.

      I hated this scene. Sure they put in the bit with the family losing their home but we never talked to those people. The loan officers for the most part made out just fine in the crisis. Showing them job hunting turns the ending into a story of clash between a bunch of rich dudes some of whom lost and others won. But that is not the real story. The real story is all the homeless people because housing prices were and continue to be artificially high due to government intervention in the market. The real story is young people who can't start families because the government bailed out pension funds instead of paying for college educations. And yes of course the people who were conned into much more risky mortgages than they realized.

      @@5packzach Well no fucking shit. That company would be worthless, obviously. Burry was buying stocks at a time when investors, like the guy on the phone call, had become more risk averse. Burry is a value investor which means his portfolios are tilted towards buying securities that the market was undervaluing, it made perfect sense in 2008 because everyone was looking to cash out instead of waiting for the market to recover, which it did just two years later. A diversified portfolio of stocks in 2008 would've clearly and predictably blown every other investment out of the water for years afterwards.

      The thing that was not mentioned in the movie was that DR.Burry was buying low liquidity stocks. Nobody knew what was going on with the economy. So investors were scared since he bought low liquidity stocks. I think that was the thing that got investors scared. Buying at all-time lows is also hard because you have no indication if the market is gonna go even lower.

Tesla also has build idiosyncrasies and a notoriously prickly figurehead who gets fits of pique now and then like the dude with the cave rescue and Clarkson et Al for daring to critique the Tesla with not 💯 fulsome praise. Taken together means there is growth for new entrants but how does Tesla diversify to keep its USP/market share? Does it go even more luxury? Where it completes with better known luxury marques. Does it go cheaper harming it's bottom line? Just because a lane gets busier doesn't make the ride smoother. Elbows come out. So I'm not saying Tesla will fail but it's not a given a more competitive market means Tesla will be better off.

      no it was the bit in the middle where he was paying money out for the swaps, (bets he made) which was basically losing money so it the fund was in the negative. So everyone lost all their money on paper where the sueing was an issue. It wasn't even the crash that turn it around for them but months later

The main risk factor became the credit rating agencies criminally propping up the CDO values with AAA ratings, even as mortgage defaults accelerated on cue.

    You can’t put your faith in authority, especially when it comes to determining value. Even if they aren’t crooked (which is a safe bet), they aren’t competent enough to be given that power.
    Engineering still works (there isn’t enough space between people and product to shift responsibility), and a few other things, but you are a fool if you outsource your thinking to strangers who suffer no consequences for being wrong, no matter how catastrophic.
