@Greg F. Most of the transactions in the financial "markets" are speculation. The "markets" are not the heart of the economy. They are not NEEDED to finance the productive economy. That has been done with boring banking. Many not too large banks in cooperation with a central bank. The unprecendented economic miracle after WW2 was mainly financed by a much more restricted and regulated bank sector. In the Soviet Union and satellite states with direct financing, they did have some successes given that the S.U. was a bitterly poor country, and the massive losses they had in WW1 and even worse in WW2. The command economy, the top down micromanagement cost them a lot of productivity. Still they held their own in the arms race . All of that plus bringing the country forward to a - if modest - modern standard (literacy, healthcare, covering the basic needs) was financed w/o a stock exchange or private capital. In the U.S. there was of course an active stock exchange, and maybe to some degree it played a role in the U.K. after 1949 - although I assume the recovery in the 1950s had little to do with the stock exchange and a lot with the bold investments of the social Democratic government. The key industries and railway and public transports as well as the healthcare services were publicly owned, and the mines and banks already existed. In continental Europe the stock exchange did not play much of a role. Many key industries were nationalized (not in Germany for instance but their stock exchange was a lame affair), and they had a mix of some large and many small and medium sized companies who would not have the size to be listed anyways. But were the base for a thriving export industry. The financial "markets" leech off the PRODUCTIVE economy. With leverage now allowed by laws and made possible by colluding central banks and regulators looking the other way. and with money created by laws. Money is a legal and societal construct. in 2011 on a given day open derivatives in the U.S. were around 700 TRILLION USD - versus an U.S. GDP (that is over the period of 1 year) of between 18 and 19 trillion USD. it is not productive, it is not necessary and it is dangerous. The stock exchange always has been a playground for rich people trying to increase their fortunes w/o taking entrepreneurial risks - and that dates back to the 18th century. When investing in a company (or back in the day in a ship for instance) a lot of things can go wrong, usually one stays invested for quite some time - or the project is going to fail if only for the lack of longer committment. And it needs expertise and oversight. Shares on the other hand can change hands quickly, w/o committment and w/o special interest in the company, the product, market, customer, new technologies or product innovation. Large investors do more research - but the focus is on the expected profit and there is not really a committment to / interest for the product. Europe was rebuilt after WW2 mainly w/o the money of the stock exchange, let alone that bets (derivatives) would have been allowed (by actors who have no stake in the underlying real- economy transaction). These days a lot of the "trading" is done by computers. And most of these transactions are baits, to fool other particiants (or computers) in the game (to avoid the word market which is completely inappropriate). I do not know WHY that is even allowed - except that politicians are bought and paid for and/or clueless. As long as the party goes on it is highly lucrative and the banks or the "investors" could not make enough money with giving out loans and investing in companies. There a just not enough good, viable productive projects - not with the current global level of wages / disposable income of consumers. In the developing countries wages are kept as low as possible, and in the wealthy countries they have been pretty stagnant since the 1980s. There a global over capacities for industrial production (for the current disposable incomes). The profits are huge and are amassed at the top (away from the bottom and middle income segment) - but there are not nearly enough investments for the fortunes (to produce more goods or services). So like in the Roaring Twenties, from 1990 - 2006 ,and now again the activities of Big Finance are to a large degree speculative. If they would have to put down only a fraction of the money for the transactions they engage in, they would have to stop the insane game. The insanity of the derivates has been a little bit reduced (in 2011 I think some alarm bells rang - the volumes were reduced to 300 - 400 trillion open volume per day - but I think it then increased again). In 2011 a major part of the bets were on interest rates btw (I assume most of it for U.S. government bonds), not even on currencies or commodities. See the article in zerohedge if interested. Interest rates are SET by the central banks - it does not get more "government intervention" and "not a market" like that. Someone will have to explain to me how bets on the interest levels (that are set at will by central banks) are helpful for the productive economy. Even so - if the "traders" would only have to make down payments of as little as 10 % of the open volumes, that would be 30 - 40 trillion on any given day in the U.S. - and only for derivatives. (The volumes on the stock markets are considerable but not nearly as much as for the bets). There is not enough money in the system, and the banks - who have now become speculators themselves - should not be allowed to give them "credit" for these sums. Money has been very cheap, only recently the interest rates were increased. Stocks are over-priced but there is still _some_ connection to the real world - despite high frequency trading. Of course every pretense of market or regulatory oversight is ridiculous. 30 minutes of trading would take the U.S. regulators 1 year to analyze - if they are lucky.

Another incredible aspect of this scene is that it’s the moment Sam realized that he is an incredibly small thinker, discovering that they do absolutely nothing to influence the market with anything they sell, but rather simply react to human nature regarding finance. John is thinking far beyond the present situation and even feels a bit better about it, suggesting he already sees light at the end of the tunnel. While Sam is distraught over the immediate situation and how it will affect the world and the firm. The difference is massive and perfectly portrays the level of thinking of a long time executive with decades of exposure to the market.

That’s just false though. Massive firms like this absolutely do influence the market. The entire premise of the movie is that their fire sale kicks off a recession John’s a great orator, but his rationale is quite poor. “The percentages stay exactly the same”…no they don’t. After nearly every recession, we’ve seen a concentration of wealth toward the top. People like john get to increase their share of the wealth by buying the dip. A dip that they created! Meanwhile, the general populace loses out, and now there are more “starving dogs” in the world.

As was pointed out, there were many other firms that had the same data, and would have put the pieces together quickly. The only real decision to make was whether to try and continue as if nothing was going to happen, or sell it before someone else started getting rid of those securities. If they had hung on, then they risked going belly up when another firm got out. If they sold it, then they took a loss, but not a fatal one, and did much better than those who waited.

@@bugwar5545 One of my favorite things about margin call is that it doesn’t hold your hand. There’s a lot of subliminal, implied stuff. Makes the movie worth rewatching It’s heavily implied that eric dale was fired for pointing out the firm’s overleveraged position in trash MBSes. Rewatch the clip “eric dale is fired” on youtube. He learns that sarah robertson fired him, then reacts by saying “i knew i shouldn’t have gone to her LAST YEAR” Before dale leaves the building, he gives a flash drive to peter sullivan (the junior analyst). Sullivan put the icing on the cake, finishing dale’s model and proving how trash the MBS position was. But it was dale who baked the cake Later, in the meetings, there’s more evidence of upper management knowing ahead of time. Eric dale warned them a year ago, but they didn’t care because they were making too much money. It was only when a junior analyst saw it was about to explode that they did something. And that something “killed the market for years to come” You could absolutely argue that upper management had a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. They weren’t the only firm building up trash positions. They weren’t the only firm ignoring their risk management department. So if they didn’t do the fire sale, their stock could’ve gone to $0 But it’s just not true that they were bystanders. They had a significant effect in inflating the bubble and they had a significant effect in popping it. Multi billion dollar buy/sell orders move the market

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH, READ BELOW: 1. The gov't believes that black and Hispanic home ownership is too low 2. So a Clinton gov't organization called the Community Reinvest Act threatens banks with discriminatory lawsuits, if they don't fund black and Hispanic loans. 3. The banks agree to lend money. To clarify, an Hispanic gardener who claimed to earn $100k with no proof, was qualified for $200k loan. NINA loans (no income, no assets or also known as Liar loans were officially called subprime. 4. The banks sells, all their loans both good and bad to Wall Street Firms (Goldman Sachs, etc.) These loans are known as mortgage backed securities (loans) or MBS. These MBS are not the typical MBS sold for generations but contain risky subprime loans mixed. 5. Wall Street firms sell MBS to brokerages (Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard) 6 Schwab, Fidelity etc sell them to the public and all over the world 7. Blacks and Hispanics start defaulting on their loans, bringing down ALL the loans. 8. While Wall Street firms are vultures the real implosion could not have happened without the government forcing banks to do social engineering. Prior to this, one had to prove income, that's why in 200 years mortgage bonds were always solid.

Then, he gets up from the table and puts the glasses back on and agrees to stay with the firm, for the money. When, in fact, that's the same as it's always been: a war between fat cats, and starving dogs. He agrees to remain a fat cat. He is a great actor. Probably all his movies will suffer in retrospect because of his alleged sexual behavior with underage males. I really liked his acting in the movie, The Usual Suspects.

Sam is standing there with tears because he can't understand how having been through so many financial collapses he still never learned from his mistakes and ended up in the same old place where he needs the money again, even after so many years.

@@PretentiousStuff exactly what I wanted to comment. If I may add, this goes to show that humans are not really "intelligent", we're just clever. Deep down we're still governed by base instincts that remain from thousands of generations when we were just cavemen. What I'm saying is, whenever we feel like we're doing something really smart, we should really take a break and look at it critically. But we don't. I wonder how many generations it'll take before that behavior improves.

Go back to "Boiler Room", and you will see the same illustration of financial instability for people working in this sector. They used a term that I cannot use here to describe how some of them have Ferraris & they do not have the money for the gas at times!

@@TheNefastor Exacto! It starts with your Spirit and Soul as of "now". Am "I" using my "gifts" for Yahwehs (God) intended "purpose right now"? Great book: Richest Man in Babylon Some people can discern a persons Spirit, most can not & don't want to "right now". Am I one of the 144,000 mention in bible? Matthew 6:24- No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

Tuld is the kind of person that has lived such a comfortable life for so long that he's become out of touch with reality. Many politicians, entrepreneurs, CEOs etc are just like that in the real world. They're the people that run this world unfortunately

He lives a comfortable life simply because he is in touch with reality. The reality of the successful. When he loses touch with that, he becomes unsuccessful.
