"you can never make money on news that the general public does not know about".... yet politicians who engage in policy governing companies and sectors are outperforming industry specialists by wide margins... "Policy trading" is the new insider trading.
I totally enjoyed your analysis and opinion. This is why I follow you. I learn. As a student of financial history that also linked the series' characters and plots to historical events and characters, I must say that your breakdown shows the importance of understanding the capital markets, the law, and psychology. And I know there is much more. Please continue.
I first took your udemy course in 2015, and it inspired me to create my own course on health and nutrition. I think started an online coaching program and that's been my business since then. I'm incredibly grateful for your content and what you share. its charisma and comfort with content in one. This video is so awesome, i loved billions and had wanted to be the therapist for hedge funds since i've seen it. I love hearing the accurary of the show. This was value, education and entertainment in one. Please create more like this.
Excellent content. But I think if Bobby did shy away from the prosecutor, we wouldn't have a great story line. He's portrayed really as the rare exception
Man, i love it. Learned so much from you. I'm always intrigued by people who has actual experience in hedgefunds. And law and behold. I saw this. great content!
This was a very unique perspective the way you talked about things. Really interesting. I usually love the technical aspects of these things but this might've been a bit too dry for me. But grateful you made it nonetheless.
Chris this is amazing ! Been watching the Billion series and wondered if its all accurate and true. Thank you for the insights. Would love to see you react to more movies related to the world of finance, business or even biographies.
GREAT ANALYSIS & INSIGHT into Hedge funds business. People put some politicians and government officials on their side and think law and administration is on their side, but not for long. Most easy money is easy come easy go. The faster one builds fortune by unethical means, the faster it all dries up. And in the process of all this, the economy and small investors take the hit.
@@chris.haroun Absolutely. this was awesome to watch both entertaining and educational at the same time. as a fan of the show I always wondered how accurate they were to the reality
@@chris.haroun I think to save your precious time, it would be good to search the highest rated eps across the entire series (from IMDB / RT), and do reactions to the top ones!
I'm not in any way able to comment on the accuracy of "billions" in terms of how hedge funds and wall street in general operate. But one thing I am very sure of is that billionaires don't go around drinking piss water Heineken's all the time! Honestly it's one of the most insulting product placements I've ever seen in a show! 😂
I've been following you for a while as my career is just about to start. I think this kind of infotainment is the start of your growth Hacking journey.
@@chris.haroun Please do more reaction videos on Wall Street TV shows/movies. I've started watching Billions because of this video, look forward to more reaction videos on the rest of the season.
I suggest you watch all seasons except for the last season and you will get to know that Dollar Bill isnt an analyst and Bobby isnt a porfolio manager.
Finally the YT algorithm recommended something excellent 👏 Liked that the review was backed up with info to help the non-finance viewer understand the show + the world of hedge funds a bit better. I hope you do more of this type of content in future.
Thank you so much! We are working hard on adding 20 videos like this one over the next few months. Next up is on the Wolf of Wall Street. Thanks again you made my day : )
Thank you- very informative. I wished I had watched your video prior to watching Billions on tv because I really don’t understand the financial world or Wall Street, cuz it’s a lot like gambling isn’t?
Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃. This video would suggest, if you do Insider trading, you need to offset with a month or two of lesser gains. Like card counting, you can't win all the rounds, you need to offset your wins with a loss or two. I know you don't advocate "Insider trading". I'm just thinking out loud. Great video. I wish you reacted to the entire series. ☮️
I am so lucky to see your insights of this fabulous show today,I am well educated and amazed by your professional interpretations in finance aspects and know exactly how real hedge funds work and entourage me to do well during my trading career maybe in hedge fund too in the future.pls do keep doing this and help us to explore more in this area.
Really entertaining and educative! I knew this would be amazing right from when you mentioned it on the livestream. It helps drive a lot of your teachings home and I can't wait to see more as I have also just started watching the series (Billions) alongside.
Love this commentary on the show. Big fan of Billions (well the first couple of seasons anyway before it went all over the place) and always wondered how accurate all this really was. Any other similar shows like this you would recommend?
As a big fan of this show, but with no background in this line of work, I must admit that sometimes things go a little fast for me. Thank you for taking the time to walk us through this. When you said "some bastard bought a ton of put options a few days before 9/11", doesn't that mean that person had foreknowledge of the coming event? Do you know if he was arrested and/or investigated by the FBI? Larry Silverstein, during his lawsuit, said that each tower had been hit by a separate plane so they were destroyed as a result of two attacks. Which means a double payout. That's when you know you're dealing with a real slime bag. "One man's demise is another man's supper." Only Larry wanted a huge banquet.
Anyone with half a brain, and with a moderate ability to separate emotion from logic knows the answer. Isn't it peculiar how WT7 was reported to have collapsed, before it actually did? Fell down due to a paper fire...uh huh...
I've been following and been a student of yours for years. This reaction video was honestly brilliant I was educated and enjoyed every minute of it. So more Billions reactions, they are fantastic.
This is a real good analysis coming from a guy who actually worked in the industry. Also one more thing, the breaking of laws, most laws are faulty and made by paid up lawmakers to prosecute people and get votes and stuff, not everyone who breaks the law is a bad person, its a 50-50 game.
I hate to be that guy, but I question a society that makes you feel like you need to be paying 30k for preschool, or that THAT is some kind of “lifestyle” that needs to be maintained above all else. Maybe we should be living differently? I don’t know enough to bash it but I don’t think it’s the most optimal way to live for human beings.
I recently got into billions, love the show, seems probably accurate except the computer screens never move! Lol if they updated just a little bit that would put me over the moon :)
Been a day 1 Billions fan, so i'm not sure how your vids JUST appeared on my algorithm, but i love it. One minor error: The show came out in 2016, not 2013.
That was awesome. Please do more. I’m 32 and are in a very lucrative career which has allowed me to begin investing my money in a major way. So videos Ike this now k retest me. Plus Billions is one of my favorite shows. Great work!
I think we can see examples right now of billionaires whose egos and arrogance lead them to openly flaunt their power, wealth, and willingness to bend the rules. So I don't think 'inaccurate' is what I would say as much as that Axelrod would perhaps be anomaly in that industry. Rare vs an inaccurate portrayal.
Thank you for this video! I've rewatched this show sooo many times, I'm a huge fan! So glad you validate the quality 👏🏽 really enjoyed this so I'm your new subscriber 😁
I actually enjoyed your insights better than the show! Well almost. I think you get my point. You should make more of these even per episode of billions. As a self proclaimed retail quant trader who is a fan of the show(especially the last season) it would be beneficial.
17:20 Sharry Edwards, of Sound Health Options, invented voice analysis software that can uncover health issues and tell if someone is lying. I spent some time learning how to use it. She also makes videos analyzing the voices of famous people and politicians.
how come Berkshire wasn't investigated when they bought Activision shares prior to the transaction with Microsoft? that was recent (like in the past year)
No kidding Chris! Please keep bringing this type of insights. Your comments on "context", "real life" and "political environment" are as exiting as some of the statements the actors in the series are making! Love your show about the "shows"!
You telling your boss you didn't feel comfortable with some info you got and having to put it on the restricted list... You know what would make that situation even more irritating... if you had a thesis on a trade already that was going to pan out just fine and now you can't do it because boss wanted you to cheat.
"There is a lot of people in the industry that don't have ethics"... well I doubt you can actually judge that unless you know more than half the people working in the industry.
You’ve been around the street long enough so that you have stories for days. Traders, investors and degenerates would absolutely enjoy stories, not just criminal but say for example, an analyst was promoted to leadership because of a call or an analyst got a call wrong and instead of getting fired he had to eat a turd or something. You don’t have to give any real names or the names of the hedge funds.
on why people justify braking the law, and ethics. they say family more or less. and wanna provide a good life. i think the kids would rather have dad around and not behind a glass window on a phone.

"you can never make money on news that the general public does not know about".... yet politicians who engage in policy governing companies and sectors are outperforming industry specialists by wide margins... "Policy trading" is the new insider trading.
Well said. Congresspeople, MPs and the levels above should not be allowed to transact in single stocks or options. Thanks
Like Nancy👀
@@simonmahlangu923 It's been an open "secret" for a while now. It's a huge joke.
Banks can make money from “inside trading” on what their customers do and their trading patterns without it being insider trading
@@SuperPerfectManbecause banks are disclosed on how there clients utilises there liquidity and or capital?

I have been waiting for this. Billions changed my life and it is one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
Thanks Michael - I LOVE this show!
I love this show. I've see it twice already and after watching your take on it, I think I'm going to watch it again. Cheers

This is my awesome MBA professor! You rock Chris!
Didn't see this coming but loved it🤩. Please keep exploring new things like this. Love to see you evolving 😍
Will do Akshay; thank you!

Agree; there are no short cuts when investing. As Warren Buffett says, "the longer the view, the wiser the intention."
Thanks for the insight . I enjoyed it very much .
I've been waiting so Long for you to this. Please do the same to the TV shows called Industry and another called Devils
Thank you Craig! Will do
I can listen to your explanation over and over again ^^ Thank you
More of the Billions reactions. this is excellent
Thanks. Should I do episode 2 also? Thanks again for the feedback

Great insights Chris, I love it
My routine is grab some pop corn and watch a Chris Haroun video, love it. Thanks for taking the time to make invaluable content.
Thanks Fernando!

3:07 Definitely didn't say "screw you" LOL. Great video though. Great insights
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you, Chris!
This is awesome Chris. Wow!!!
He knows what he is talking about! So much correct information in an entertaining way I love it!

Tom thanks a lot! We will release a video next week just like this one for the Wolf of Wall Street movie
certainly true

@@chris.haroun Easily one of the most informative and digestible videos I've ever watched.
6:50 who bought the record number of puts in airlines before 9/11????
Loved this and loved what you do! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Katie!
Fam of the show and thoroughly enjoyed your explication of it from a vetted perspective. Make more, and you’ve got a dedicated subscriber here.
yes, sometimes the difference between earning your living and earning a king's ransom is a thin line of ethics
Please keep them coming. I really enjoyed it👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you- very informative. I wished I had watched your video prior to watching Billions on tv because I really don’t understand the financial world or Wall Street, cuz it’s a lot like gambling isn’t?
Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃.

Great video. Thanks for making this!
This analysis video is great, please make more :)
Long live Axlerod
We need more of this🔥
Alpha is not just outperformance, it is risk-adjusted v. the beta of the fund.
I've been following and been a student of yours for years. This reaction video was honestly brilliant I was educated and enjoyed every minute of it. So more Billions reactions, they are fantastic.
Started learning Forex trading this year and somebody recommended the series for me, I now see why they did.
This is a real good analysis coming from a guy who actually worked in the industry. Also one more thing, the breaking of laws, most laws are faulty and made by paid up lawmakers to prosecute people and get votes and stuff, not everyone who breaks the law is a bad person, its a 50-50 game.

Really great video, couldn’t help but notice you slightly dressed like Bobby Axelrod here 😂 pretty good
Calling Jim Cramer brilliant is disqualifying. Its as if you havent watched him whiff horendously on stocks thousands of times.
I recently got into billions, love the show, seems probably accurate except the computer screens never move! Lol if they updated just a little bit that would put me over the moon :)
Nice inside on these hedge fund. How about making videos on the movie Call Margin and british TV series Industry.
Nicely done loved it!!!
Been a day 1 Billions fan, so i'm not sure how your vids JUST appeared on my algorithm, but i love it. One minor error: The show came out in 2016, not 2013.

That was awesome. Please do more.
I’m 32 and are in a very lucrative career which has allowed me to begin investing my money in a major way. So videos Ike this now k retest me.
Plus Billions is one of my favorite shows.
Great work!
Great video...very knowledgeable
things went haywire since bobby left for alps😑
Great video

This was awesome. You should do a reaction for HBO's Industry and SKY's DEVILS
Love this show.... Hope we get another season.... But we need Bobby to come back.
Hes back:)))
Loved this. Work in midtown retail and see the money being spent!
Thank you for this video! I've rewatched this show sooo many times, I'm a huge fan! So glad you validate the quality 👏🏽 really enjoyed this so I'm your new subscriber 😁

You sound super smart you should do a video about the banks and big businesses fading away and why?
how come Berkshire wasn't investigated when they bought Activision shares prior to the transaction with Microsoft? that was recent (like in the past year)
That 9/11 story is insane...
Great content. Seen the series and I loved. The way you broke it down was great.
No kidding Chris! Please keep bringing this type of insights. Your comments on "context", "real life" and "political environment" are as exiting as some of the statements the actors in the series are making! Love your show about the "shows"!
Thank you so much! I will make a video like this every 1-2 weeks through year end. Thanks again Penifana!
I enjoyed every part of this presentation, so educative and interesting. Thank you Chris
Interesting, I found I had the same reaction when I started watching Billions, it was riveting TV.
awesome content! have you done some reactions on the series "THE INDUSTRY''?
Will do thanks!
I noticed that the house was initially quoted at $83 million and the purchase price was $63 million.
You telling your boss you didn't feel comfortable with some info you got and having to put it on the restricted list...
You know what would make that situation even more irritating... if you had a thesis on a trade already that was going to pan out just fine and now you can't do it because boss wanted you to cheat.
I'm not a financial guy, nor do I understand every that goes on in that Show but I just Love the show.
Thanks for doing this. I thought I was living in a fantasy when I watched Billions. Now at least I know more. Simply cool!
Peter thanks; the show is so well made!
Re: Martha Stewart. The Lady did her time with immense courage and dignity that one has to respect.
Surprised no one talking about the guy buying put options prior to 9/11. If that guy was aware of it there probably much more who knew.
"There is a lot of people in the industry that don't have ethics"... well I doubt you can actually judge that unless you know more than half the people working in the industry.
Brilliant by the professor 👏👏👏
I love this. This is actually so educational and the show makes more sense in retrospect. I have to watch it again. Now I know what Alpha means.
Thanks PDL : )
Yes indeed! It makes more sense to me now, as well!
Great video I love billions and succession except the last season of billions was a little to “woke” for me

I actually like the fact that you dress up like Bobby Axelrod for this video! Was it intentional? 😅
Lol. No but I should have worn a Metallica shirt like BA!
Very creative Chris. As usual, humble and honest instruction and informative presentation.
Thanks bud!
A great explanations for Billions! Very helpful to understand the finance world.
I enjoyed it definitely
on why people justify braking the law, and ethics. they say family more or less. and wanna provide a good life. i think the kids would rather have dad around and not behind a glass window on a phone.
Chris, amazing! Loved this video and concept, would love to see more of these, this is a really cool really fun series and I am pumped for it!
Thanks buddy! Up next is the Wolf of Wall Street, then Wall Street and then 17 more in this 20 episode series."
Good work! Thanks 👍
