    One thing the film doesn't touch on is the effect all this had on the Repo market which was even more devastating.
    Banks loan each other money in exchange for "security" and the banks used these CDO's as security.

      @@siddiqahmad5193
      I think this explains it pretty well:
      In recent years, the tri-party repo has allowed the repo market to accept a wide range of collateral, including mortgage-backed securities, CDOs, and almost any asset that the clearing banks could hold in custody. Hence, it has allowed investors in various securities to more easily secure financing in the repo market by simply putting up their positions as collateral. However, an important factor contributing to the loss of liquidity in fixed-income markets in February and March 2008 was the sudden refusal of lenders in the repo market to accept as collateral the same wide range of assets as before. This made it difficult to impossible for holders to value the instruments and led to a sharp worsening of the liquidity profile of institutions-in the case of Bear Stearns, which had a large quantity of these assets on its balance sheets

If anything they're helping keep it balanced.

    I think the editing in this movie helps emphasize spectacle and the lack of attention on the actual scene. Much like how the banks, investors, resl estate mortgage people were not paying attention to what actually is going on. What is a critic but someone who reads quickly, arrogantly, but never wisely. There is plenty of different aspects directors like to play around with to communicate with the audience. To name a few, composition, editing, cinematography, structure, cuts, etc. Take Kubrick for example, in the shining he was famous for moving objects in the hotel to different locations or removing them entirely between takes. He did this for the viewer because he knew people were going to watch his movie multiple times. It's like playing a game with your audience and leaving little breadcrumbs through out the movie. They're just begging the viewer to notice them. One must consider that a good movie uses every opportunity to communicate with the audience. Time is very limited in films, a good director knows this and will deliberately use subtle ways of communicating to the audience without sacrificing quality in other areas of the film. I think Martin Scorsese was right about the MCU. I wouldn't consider anything made by marvel for cinemas films. I would consider them movies. I think the worst thing anything like a story, book, movie etc can be is okay. Like if you saw a movie and some asked you what you thought of it, and you just said,"eh, it was okay." What that means is that it was boring. There was nothing of substance to it. Either it had nothing new or creative to offer, or what it did offer has already been done before and much better. I dislike marvel movies because they do not bring anything new or creative to offer the medium through which they create. They're boring and lazy movies. They're okay.... Movies i would consider to be of the variety of being unimaginative and offering nothing new or interesting or experimental to the medium through which they operate. Films i would describe as bringing something new, experimental, risk taking, or nuanced to the medium. I would even consider the room with Tommy Wisea, i probably spelled his name wrong, but i would consider the room a film. Because he tried something, sure it wasn't successful but at least he tried. But ill tell you what it wasn't, it wasn't boring. I'm sorry for going on a long ass rant. But i am tired of people who are unwilling to engage with the material and actually analyze and study it, who then go on to claim that the work is bad or terrible. It's upsetting because it's very dismissive and arrogant. If you're not willing to engage with the material and give it a fair chance then i believe you you have no leg to stand on, so to speak. You did not do your due diligence as the audience and watch/observe. It's like talking to someone who isn't listening to what you have to say. They're just waiting till it's their turn to speak. My point is, you're not giving the person the opportunity to be understood. Often in debates, negotiations, and arguments, being understood is far more important than winning. It is extremely frustrating when someone is arrogant and unwilling to even try to understand what you are trying to communicate. I can tell you i would be very upset if i were to make anything only for it to be dismissed. I dislike movies like the MCU because whatever they have to offer has already been done before and far better by someone else. Movies like that are not art, it's escapism, it's the desire to be sedated, the unwillingness to meet reality on reality's terms

      This is a super super simplification. I don't fully understand it myself. But I'll do my best to explain it in a nutshell:
      Imagine you have a piggy bank (personal savings), and you've been saving up to buy a toy (house). But the toy is expensive, and you don't have enough money yet. So, your friend (bank) says, "I'll lend you the money to buy the toy now, and you can pay me back later, a little bit at a time." You're really excited, so you agree (take out a mortgage).
      Now, let's say lots of kids in your neighbourhood want expensive toys, but like you, they don't have enough money. So, many friends (banks) start lending money to buy these toys, thinking it's a good way to get a little extra money in return from the payments (because of interest). And if you can't pay back you have to give the toy back to the friend that loaned you the money (security), since he thinks he can sell it for more than you bought it for (asset appreciation).
      But there's a problem. Some of the kids who borrowed money find out they can't pay it back (defaults). Maybe they spent their allowance on other things, or they didn't get as much allowance as they thought they would. When they can't pay back, the friends who lent the money get worried because they were counting on getting that money back or the toy that is worth more now. But since there are so many toys that are studently for sale (supply and demand), the price goes down and not up as he expected (asset depreciation) which leads to your friend losing all his money.

      @@metamorphorsis Lots or less regulations, the end result always comes from the same issue. No system can work properly if its parts are corrupted. Sure, forcing banks to lessen restrictions on money lending can have bad results, but the finance sector did nothing to prevent them, they prayed on it. Adjustable absurd prime rates, lazy fact checking and tracking of the products (so complicated that it took too long to layer), using housing bonus as securities and creating artifical money out of those bets, did not have anything to do with the original said restriction. Fraud in money applications is not equal to "lessening requirements for credit". If anything you could argue that these types of bets should not be allowed, because they elevate the risk of default relying only on the fact that the products are mortages.
      And credit rating agencies had a conflict of interest problem and decided to go with it and not really try to fix it. Instead of trying to better the system, they got greedy and lost track of what they were doing , because it was making them lots of money. That is irresponsible, and does not have to do with government only. It is tiring blaming always the government for the greedy and corrupt actions.

      The people shown in this movie that took advantage of the situation to make money didn't create the situation and nothing they did could have prevented the housing crisis. They just recognized what was about to happen and took that opportunity to make money. So they could have had plenty of sympathy for the people who were going to be hurt by the crash. They still couldn't have done anything to stop it from happening.
      Hell, I can remember watching CNBC and hearing people point out the issue with credit default swaps and credit default obligations and how complex the system was. It was obvious that it was so complex that no one could fully understand it and as such was risky, but when even someone like me could see there was a problem no one in power did a thing to stop it. To me it seemed obvious that someone should have acted to either limit or prevent CDOs/CDS from being sold. Though in all likelihood it was too late to prevent the housing crisis by that point.

      Housing bonds were seen as a very safe investment because people are usually reliable with their mortgage payments. Since they were so safe they could be leveraged (invested in the market i.e. gambled) heavily by the banks without much risk of losing money.
      This went on for years. People made a lot of money. They kept coming up with different ways to gamble with the bonds, and because they were so safe they could keep twisting them into more risky and complex deals to get bigger payout.
      Then investors wanted more, but there's a finite number people who can afford to buy a house. So cheaper (sub-prime) mortgages were offered so more people could afford them. They sold these to anybody with a pulse, no matter their income, and these mortgages went into the whole mortgage bond apparatus that had been running for years.
      What made these mortgages so cheap was their low interest rate, _but that wasn't a fixed rate._ After a number of years the rates went up and suddenly people couldn't afford their mortgage payments. They started defaulting. The mortgages started to lose their value, and suddenly the investments made with the bonds were no longer propped up by the value of the mortgages. The market based on the mortgage bonds collapsed. The value of the bonds plummeted as everyone tried to get rid of their bonds first.
      In essence, the gamblers found out the chips they were playing with could no longer be cashed out -- they were worthless. Some found out first and sold their chips at a loss to other gamblers.

    • @bramstrijker4777
      @bramstrijker4777 Před 4 měsíci +46

      Put easily and how i understand it, a CDO is just a lot of mortgages put together. This is adventagious because if you put 100 together and 1 defaults (doesn't or cannot pay) the other 99 would cover the payment still. but given a certain % of profit on the product, say 5%, if 5% or more of the mortgages dont get paid the entire CDO is suddenly useless.
      The AA, BB, CC is the credit rating they are referring to. the lower the rating the lower the income from the home buyer. but because so many houses were sold to essentially everyone that the standards for getting a mortgage got lowered to the point you didnt need an income. to still sell these CC mortgages they bundled them together with AA. on paper this is great because it lowers risk. In actuality there is still only (for example) 5% profit on the CDO, and altough its A rated it has more than 5% CC rated mortgages in there, more than covering the profit. people with no income or with a low income and 3 houses are forced to liquidate their homes to cover depts even if the housing prices go down temporarily.
      Now if at some point enough people dont pay their mortgage all the CDO's go to 0 (profit is 0 so no one buys the CDO of of each other anymore) from AA - CC.
      the synthetic CDO's just consist of a lot of the regular CDO's together, on paper lowering risk, in the real world only making it so more money is "bet" on the same product in a different place.
      Because the mindset was "this cannot go tits up" we build our entire economy around CDO's. This was great for the economy because a person without money could buy a house, establish equity in the home, and become a richer citizen. Essentially we just created 300.000 dollars out of nothing.
      now the bank sells the mortgage on to an investment bank, they bundle all of them together and sell it off to the public.
      how could the investment bank afford so many mortgages? they couldn't, but because the mindset was "this cannot go tits up" the investment bank essentially took out a gigantic loan to buy up as many mortgages they could, bundle them together and sell them off to the public.
      just as in the last example the bank just created money out of nothing, this time not 300.000 but BIllions.
      This was all considered low risk because everyone always pays their mortgage, but the exponentional loaning of money on the same product made us so leveraged that if it were to go bust everyone would lose. People lose houses, banks go out of business forcing standing out loans to liquidate. Spreading this to everything, small business cant loan money because the banks are gone. Growth slows.
      essentially, banks got greedy normal man gets shafted

      You don't get it? That's literally the entire point. Expert mathematicians couldn't figure out how all this was going to work.
      Look, it's simple. You don't @!#$ with equilibrium. This is true for everything that you know, and don't know that exists. It doesn't matter what Wall Street called it. CDO, synthetic CDO, whatever. You can't just make wealth happen out of thin air. It has to come from somewhere. All you need to understand is all the people in this movie are making the "somewhere" so complicated, that no one knows what's going on.
      For example, take your paycheck. I used to get it attached to the check. Then Kroger forced direct deposit, but you still got the paystub. Then they forced us to go to a website to see that paystub. Then they changed it so it's hidden and hard to find (you have to click several links to find it). Guess what's happening now? People are getting screwed out of their pay because no one is going to constantly keep track of their pay every week. Wall Street did this, but to a whole new level. And since everyone was getting rich on it, no one was bothering to keep track.

    You sell stocks to people that are already looking to buy and you buy stocks that have fallen that people are trying to get rid of.
    If this was unethical then buying stocks from someone when it’s low and selling when to someone when it’s high would be equally unethical. Meaning the entire market is unethical.
