      very good educational film

      I always feel ashamed of my bachelor’s degree in economics, and so far I can’t tell the economic crisis in a straight line, but too big to fail has really made me understand a lot. Loans are packaged in packaged securitization, which makes the snowball bigger and bigger. We do live in a credit-based economic society. If the entire credit chain is broken, the entire economy cannot function. This is why the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve pay so much attention to...

      Decisions are not made by "gambling"!

      If the consequences of a strategy are not grasped as comprehensively as possible before, and effective methods are not formulated for the possible consequences, people will change from active to passive in this game. For those companies that have a major relationship and have a wide range of consequences, such as AIG, these big players in the bull market may become cancer when the bear market comes. Although they know that their operation or structure is unreasonable, they are involved The area...

      Financial crises come from greed - banks lend to hordes of people who can't pay

      Wall Street packaged mortgages into mortgage-backed bonds, which were then broken up and sold to investors, who made a fortune. So I lobbied the bank to let them take out more housing loans. The bank originally only gave loans to people with good credit. After their appetite grew, they lowered their standards. Ordinary people with low credit and zero down payment can also get housing loans. These ordinary people who got mortgages believed that what the experts did was not...

      too big to fail

      The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2008 is a must-see for anyone who loves finance. The movie itself was well done, needless to say. The deep experience is that when the Great Depression comes, no financial institution can survive on its own, and mergers and acquisitions and government bailouts are better ways. It also shows the essence of the financial industry: licking blood on the tip of a knife. The financial industry shows the most primitive desire and self-interested...

      Crisis Reflection (2) Too Big to Fail

      Maybe I don't know much about this, and I'm not interested, so it's a bit boring to watch....

      Another head-scratching financial theme, the subprime mortgage crisis triggered by the collapse of Lehman Bank in 2008. At first, I was still a little bit blindfolded, but after I watched it gradually, I felt a sense of tension that I couldn't stop. It was a very good popular science...

      You will work on "we are making too much money". Uncle Ji and Bernanke are like a blast. The movie is simpler and rougher than the original book, and the IBs won't be able to turn over for a long time. Would China dare to make a movie like this about those junk bonds bought by small and micro...

      When the "Occupy Wall Street" protests are in full swing, watching this film feels even more unpredictable and incomprehensible. Just a few people decide the fate of the US financial market, and even the global financial market, which makes people feel helpless. Oh, Monk's dragon set...

    Movie quotes

    • Michele Davis: They almost bring down the US economy as we know but we can't put restrictions on how they spend the $125 billion we're giving them because... they might not take it!

      [the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Public Affairs upon hearing that the 9 bank CEOs may refuse to take free money from the federal government if they had to be held accountable for how they spent it]

    • Richard Fuld: [on the phone with Neel Kashkari] Last February, we were at 66 a share. Lehman Brothers is *not* Bear Stearns. We have a great business. Real estate will come back. I am not *fucking* giving this company away!

    • Ben Bernanke: I spent my entire academic career studying the Great Depression. The depression may have started because of a stock market crash, but what hit the general economy was a disruption of credit. Average citizens unable to borrow money, to do anything. To buy a home, start a business, stock their shelves. Credit has the ability to build a modern economy, but lack of credit has the ability to destroy it, swiftly and absolutely. If we do not act, boldly and immediately, we will replay the depression of the 1930s, only this time it will be far, far worse. We don't do this now, we won't have an economy on Monday.
