    Ben's character is great. In the book, the real life Ben was ranting to the two young guys about systematic risk-taking by the banks and how nuts they were. At one point one of the guys goes "Ben, you're terrified of risk but you live in a house at the peak of the market built on a fault line on a mountain!" Ben hung up immediately and they thought they offended him. He calls them later and says "I got off the phone and sold my house."

    Ben was like a 999 level character in a MMORPG game here, with no more goals, and then he just encountered two guys level 3 asking help. He thought would be funny make these two guys level 300 at once betting against the bank and the system.

      @jimmyajp Před 3 lety +68

      Of the Four Horsemen, the black horse and its rider are the only ones whose appearance is accompanied by a vocalization. John hears a voice, unidentified but coming from among the four living creatures, that speaks of the prices of wheat and barley, also saying "and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine". This suggests that the black horse's famine is to drive up the price of grain but leave oil and wine supplies unaffected (though out of reach of the ordinary worker). One explanation for this is that grain crops would have been more naturally susceptible to famine years or locust plagues than olive trees and grapevines, which root more deeply.[3] ;-)

      @@AJ-iu6nw Similar but different, as the guy below has pointed out. One issue now is you can park your money in US bonds at 4%. This currently makes it very difficult for equity markets to compete on a returns vs. risk basis, maybe they return 7% but you're only 3% ahead and there could be a lot of risk involved in holding the equity.
      The Big Short hit the banks/financials and real estate, but it also causes people to slam their wallets shut and effects the entire economy. This is similar but there are many other moving parts, an unresolved war and energy crisis etc. for a start.

      @@KevinJohnson-cv2no Of course I was exaggerating. Yes, finance is important, but don't be so arrogant as to say every criticism is due to the critic being poor and "disgruntled".
      Bankers together with politicians all over the world have given the people enough reasons to dislike them. Where I live, one single bank did such crooked business (knowingly) that it eventually came to light, they went bankrupt and had to be bailed out with 10 billion of taxpayer money which of course they were.
      The problem imo is that they have politicians and law enforcement in their pockets. That could be seen in 2008 when but one banker in the US was sent to jail despite all the malpractice that was going on and millions of Americans losing jobs and homes.
      So yes, I am disgruntled. Am I poor? Depends on your definition of it.
      But don't be a dick and realize the reasons people are disgruntled and some outright hate wall street. The story of jordan belfort is another example of which i'm sure there are many more which we'll never hear about. It's a fact that not all people in finance work there for the people, many want only personal gain and considering they will probably never be prosecuted for messing up this will just go on and on.
      And by the way, cryptocurrencies show that there is a way of creating a payment system that is not influenced directly by humans who have their agenda. Jut like many other industries, the financial sector might be automated entirely in the future.

I lost a thou and change, but came out of there with a nice bank. Then the MBS overload came home to roost, and the ARM's exploded, I pulled everything I had into money markets. I lost a few grand during the initial hours, but at least my retirement funds survived, nothing owed, nothing paid out. Lost my job a couple years later to unrelated (or maybe) scandals.

So I understand when you say money can buy peace of mind. It is said though that there's no peace OF mind but only peace FROM mind. When an object is acquired you feel "fulfilled" and "satisfied". The mind is busy being content. Quickly though it loses interest in the object and then the pain comes which in turn is a catalyst for the search of "happiness" which of course is not happiness but again...pleasure.

      Yes Money does buy happiness, thats a common misconception created by the poor to try and make their poor lives seem better.
      Money relieves financial stress which can destroy a family
      Money gives you the ability to explore the planet and experience so much, being poor you're stuck in 1 spot for almost your whole life
      Money gives you a sense of self worth, you can pay your bills, you can get that nice car, you can get that new computer.
      Money gives you the ability to help your family, you can buy your mom and dad a home, give your kids an amazing future.
      Money gives happiness, its only if you isolate yourself or turn into an asshole due to a lack of self control where money can hurt. Or if you lose control and spend it all, then you're depressed because of what you did.
      I was raised in poverty, poor, homeless when I was 18 for a couple weeks, etc. I finally went to college and got a great career and now I make nearly 10K a month. This money has improved my life in so many ways and gave me so many opportunities that I never had before. I can only imagine making even more, or pulling in millions what I could do for my loved ones.
      Don't believe that nonsense about "money doesn't buy happiness". Happiness is subjective but ultimately being rich is a universal feeling. Even those that deny would grab that 10 million if someone handed it to them.

      I believe happiness is love, social contact and the ability to be free. All of which are pleasures.
      The love of a family, its a pleasure - you enjoy the feeling. Love of friends, a pleasure, you enjoy the social contact and laughs, etc.
      We're animals that enjoy various forms of good feelings and so as long as you maintain social contact than adding a million dollars to that only enhances.
      Money does buy happiness and only those that are rich can look at you and say
      "We both have the same, family, friends, happiness but I have the ability to share this in more places, doing more things, without that financial stress pissing everyone off"
      Having a form of wealth will never rid you of depression or anti-social behaviours, you have to work on that yourself. But if you're well established than money enhances your life and pleasures making you happier.
      Again, we're animals - anything that lets us "gain" makes us happy. That includes money.

      @sacr3 Před 4 lety +1

      @@donjuantrumpetajohnson Basically Yes
      To be happy you need to be stimulated, stimulated via your senses experiencing "good" things, good being what makes you feel good and almost universally, what make all feel good.
      Being in love is a pleasure, a wonderful one that everyone yearns for. Without it people become depressed and some even suicidal.
      Love can be heavily damaged by a lack of financial stability, the stress, the anger, the arguments can all be detrimental to health. Having financial freedom allows the two to express their love in more expansive ways - like exploring the world together. As opposed to sitting at the kitchen table smoking a cigg thinking how they're going to pay that rent.
      Thus, money has bought happiness because it has brought more pleasure, more pleasing experiences and a better run through life with reduced stress.
