Start of the Great Recession. S&P 500 went from 1400 to 800 in six months. I lost 40% of my retirement investment and it was ... distressing to say the least. Movie recommendations: Margin Call link The Big Short ▶ this video
Lately more and more such videos are shared online and the very first thing that came in my mind is this scene from "The Big Short" [1]; - "I don't understand; why are they confessing?" - "They are not confessing; they are bragging." I get the impression we are going to witness this scene in real life sooner than we can possibly imagine and I hope I'll be proven wrong! [1] ▶ this video
As cash-rich contractors, they were lucrative customers for expensive subprime adjustable-rate mortgages once underwriters stopped verifying steady employment income. somewhat NSFW: ▶ this video
This reminds me of the Mortgage Broker Scene in The Big Short where they interview two brokers. It's their job yet they are contributing in spite of consequences. ▶ this video
