What fentastic documentary. Very rare to see this type of documentaries on Financial matters. Hats of to your team.

[@freonxkipper]

Great documentary. In 2008 I owned an architect's office with 20 employees. We were specialized in designing and engineering large housing-projects in the Netherlands. In the weeks following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, at least 6 large projects we were working on were cancelled. CEO of a large housing firm: "Financing new real-estate out of our reserves this moment is opportune." On top of this, also other projects by my collegae were cancelled an it resulted in the bankruptcy of my business. I'll never forget 9-14 but at least now I know what happened. 50% of Dutch architects ran out of business during what we call the construction-and-real-estate-crisis. luckily I'm one of the survivors who can still enjoy being an architect.

[@JSRJohn]

Thanks for the insight. How did you survive as an architect? Did you end up creating a new business or did you join one that was able to survive the crisis in the Netherlands?

[@freonxkipper]

@@JSRJohn After the bankruptcy I've tried to stay working on my one but because my investment (second morgtage on our house) was lost, and not only my CEO-salary was stopped but also the fee to pay for the extra interest on the second mortgage, we had to sell our house in 2015. The lone at that moment was greater then the selling price. In the Netherlands you not only lose your house but you stay in debt at you bank. (in our case about € 125,000,--) Luckily in the Netherlands there is a system called "Wet Schuldsanering Natuurlijke Personen" If a judge allows you to take part in this system, after a "sanitation-period" of three years your are square. During this period your salary and that of your spouse (or children living with you) is cut to around 60% of minimum wages. The surplus of money is reserved for the bank you ow the money to. My wife's salary was exactly the amount of monthly money we were allowed to keep. So, every penny I'v earned (during this period you have to work and earn as much as possible) was reserved for the bank. This enabled me to work as an architect as an employee at an architectural-and stuctural engineerings office for an affordable fee. I've learned to Model BIM models in that period. My network expanded and if there was nog enough work as an architect i could work as an engineer. (Financially you could say I've worked three years for free) In 2019 after the debt-sanitation, my former employers became my associates in our new architect's office. Dutch building-economy still suffers because of the effects of the construction-and-real-estate-crisis but yes, I've survived as an architect. Still we depend on my wife's salary "to pay the rent" but at least anything I earn, we can use to have some fun in our life. (Last year we've bought a 44 year old sailing yacht to replace the yacht we owned but had to sell when my firm went bankrupt. We are on our way up). In the Netherlands insolvable debts of bankruptcy comes with great shame. Because of bad timing (I've bought the firm for over € 1,4 M in 2006, just 2 1/2 year before Lehman fell and still had to pay of the lone when the orders were withdrawn) and bad luck, We didn't had any shame at all and were able to ask for help to anyone and everywhere and lots of friends, family and even strangers helped us. In 2009 about 15.000 men and women were employed as an architect or as a creative employee (impression-artists, design assistent's interior desinger's and so on) at an architect's practice. (not counted engineers or technical drawing staff) In 2018 there were 7.000 left an now it's about 8.200 people working in our branche in the Netherlands and I am still one of them. It's the nicest job in the world.

[@thetooginator153]

It seems like very few documentaries mention the fact that hundreds of billions in mortgage debt was in variable-rate loans, and those loans all increased their rates in 2007. Many borrowers were told not to worry because they could sell their homes at a profit the second the rate went up. What borrowers WEREN’T told is that a million homeowners would be selling at the same time, and for the same reason.

[@purselmer5931]

If someone told me that I could sell my house for a profit, it WOULD occur to me that if my house value went up, so did everyone else's in the area. That would be true even if no one else got the same loan I did. Nobody would have to "tell" me this: it's just common sense.

[@thetooginator153]

@@purselmer5931 - In 2005 there was an article in the New York Times that said millions of variable-rate mortgages were going raise their interest rates dramatically in 2007. I STRONGLY recommended that my friend sell his house ASAP, while the market was high. He didn’t, and he lost all his equity. Apparently, millions of people were either unaware of what was going to happen, or weren’t concerned. In the United States, half a million homes were repossessed in 2005. In 2008, that number was three million. Basically, almost no one saw the writing on the wall.

There were those who refused to listen to their own common sense, probably lured by the idea that they could keep up w/the Jones's and felt pressured by that to buy much more than they could afford. I am well into my 50's and have bought and/or owned five homes. For my 3rd home, the bank pre-approved me for literally DOUBLE what I was comfortable paying. When my realtor kept pressuring me, I changed realtors and bought a house that I KNEW I could afford. When the 2nd realtor asked why I wanted to stay so low when I qualified for so much I said, "Because I like eating and putting gas in my car too!" That was the last time that that realtor and I discussed it and she said I was "smart." LOL

Then the insurance policy decided it wouldn't pay. Ultimately my particular case is probably part of a mountain of repossession documents still being processed. The broker was a conman who made 5k out of the deal. Said "don't worry about the application form, I'll complete it"..... sorry but I have zero sympathy with the bank.

[@bjbell52]

I should have noted that the thing that hurt the banks were NOT mortgages themselves but the mortgaged backed securities that used those mortgages and more than that - the derivatives (in this case Credit Default Swaps) that were used to insure those MBS's. Since there were no regulations on derivatives, investment banks could do what they wanted with them and they learned they could make $$$$ buying and selling them like stocks. The biggest problem with the lack of regulations was their ability to have between 7-10 "insurance policies" on one MBS. If a MBS lost $10 million, the sellers of the CDSs had to pay out $100 million and that was the REAL cause of the problem.

It still happens today, especially in the UK. Major banks and institutions overexposed with their investments in the property markets. That's why there are so many more people living on the streets and people unable to get on the property ladder, because of their greed and overexposure in real estate, these players stop builders and government from building more homes and especially low-cost, first time buyer housing, because it would dilute the stock, drop average property prices and ultimately, wipe billions off their portfolios.

Sometimes certain people are hired to handle these things.

[@AntonioBianh]

Bank failures are likely to continue increasing due to rising interest rates, as it causes their commercial paper and treasuries to become devalued. To prevent a severe economic downturn, it is necessary to implement a freeze on interest rates. Simultaneously, the White House should support the industry in boosting gas and oil production to lower fuel prices. The anti-oil stance only contributes to higher energy costs, leading to inflation throughout the economy. By reducing interest rates, tightening the money supply, cutting government expenditures, and increasing the availability of affordable fuel, inflation will decrease, and the economy will thrive. Unfortunately, various conflicting agendas make it unlikely for all these measures to be implemented, resulting in a recession and persistent inflation.

Several thoughts 1. This was a very well made video. Great video clips and interviews of the actual players to support the story. 2. This Dick Fuld appears to be a CEO who was reckless, treated people poorly and disliked by everybody. How did he become CEO? Definitely not the admired and loved CEO that Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan is. 3. Fannie Mae and the credit rating companies are also greatly responsible for the financial crash. Giving loans to everyone and then marking these loans as AAA has adverse consequences. 4. Bravo to Hank Paulson and Treasury for refusing to bailout bad actors like Lehman, which has placed some fear in Wall Street. 5. The fact that Fuld was able to earn $500 million during his tenure is outrageous and shows no oversight by the board of directors, which as Warren Buffett correctly calls them as an "good old boys club." 6. It is embarrassing and shocking that the US Government has not put in jail or at least brought criminal charges against Fuld, Angelo Mozilo (Countrywide), Hank Greenberg (AIG) and Raymond McDaniel (Moodys)
