    Thanks LiveTalksLA for posting one of the most fun and fascinating chat Michael Lewis has done in promoting his book "Flash Boys". The way Malcolm Gladwell opened the talk was a ton of fun and immediately put a big smile on my face!
    Thanks Ted for posting the video and hosting this and other talks!

    You two have a powerful interaction. Malcolm’s ferocity does on occasion draw out Michael’s deeper self, but Michael’s affability shines through.

    I love that Lewis is 'blindsided' and amused by Gladwell's Bible analogies.

    "Do as little as possible" is not the way Michael Lewis lives his life.

    Great fun watching the crossing and uncrossing of their legs -- assuming you buy the superstition that crossing your legs toward somebody indicates approval.
    (I once sat through eight hours of a meeting of the most powerful group of which I've been a voting member, the Board of governors of the Educational Testing Service -- the people who run the SATs. The Chairman was also Chair of "The" Prudential, and for the entire meeting, he kept both feet flat on the floor, his knees crossed in no direction, indicating, to my mind, favor or bias toward nobody.

    The reason some people behave differently is because they have empathy for others, Michael.

    You write because you have a moral concern about something in the world that bugs you? I think the best writers certainly do.

    Malcolm Gladwell starts with a conclusion and works backwards, cherrypicking evidence to support his ideas. It's entertaining, but it's not journalism.

    Gladwell is the interviewer that every interviewee dreads. I relate to poor Michael Lewis here. . .

    I like both of these guys a lot. However, seems Gladwell is trying a bit too hard to be clever. Too bad.

    conspiracy theory once again turning into conspiracy FACT.

    • @4exgold
      @4exgold Před 9 lety +1

      kind of, in the sense that most people, even in the financial industry, from the mid to late 2000s, had no idea what these HF traders were doing. And that if you'd accused the likes of Goldman of screwing over their own customers in the dark pools, youd be laughed at and called a conspiracy theorist. Now of course we all know that is exactly what they were doing. Therefore conspiracy theory has become conspiracy fact, thanks to Lewis and others.

      4exgold Most people still don't understand how HFT works. Just yesterday a guy was arrested in England for supposedly being the cause of the Flash Crash in 2010 and the level of ignorance amongst the reporters and people commenting is laughable. Because he was trading out of a bedroom in a modest suburban house the whole thing is treated like a joke, yet the guy posted 5 million dollars bail with no problems and nobody asks where that money came from!

    • @Veaseify
      @Veaseify Před 9 lety

      Yes, of course and the institutional HFT's all make sure to donate to the right people to make sure any investigations will be done 'correctly.' This is what the poor saps who sign up to Ameritrade and Charles Schwab to Day Trade don't take into account, if Goldman Sachs or Deutsche Bank or JP Morgan want a currency or commodity or stock to move in a certain direction they fire off 90,000 transactions a second to make sure that happens. It doesn't matter what your charts or fundamental analysis says if you aren't on the same side as the big boys you will get wiped out.

      I don't even thinks it counts as a 'conspiracy' because its all out there in the open. There are some responsible Trading Platform sellers that are totally upfront about what the small retail trader is up against but most just pretend that high frequency trading won't affect you 'as long as you have a solid trading plan' and 'discipline'. Your 10,000 shares of ACME Doughnuts won't look so hot after Goldman decides to dump 1,000,000 of its holding in the space of thirty seconds...

      Dino Cruz Well, it was not supposed to be an interview. Yes, Gladwell may have appeared argumentative at times, but this was advertised as a "conversation" between two authors, not a run-of-the-mill interview of Michael Lewis.
      And I loved how Gladwell found a biblical allegory for each of Lewis's books.
