THE BIG SHORT - BEST SCENE, SHORTS TURN THE TABLES ON WALL STREET 🎬

[@ukspreadbetting]

Michael Burry has just announced that he is long puts against 800,100 shares of Tesla or $534 million by the end of the first quarter, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Burry was one of the first investors to call and profit from the subprime mortgage crisis. Burry, whose firm is Scion Asset Management, shot to fame by betting against mortgage securities before the 2008 crisis. Burry was depicted in Michael Lewis’ book “The Big Short” and the subsequent Oscar-winning movie of the same name.

[@yasarkhan672]

Do you think Michael burry is going to be right again, this time shorting Tesla??

[@Heathcz]

He pretty much already is right, his entry was at 800 i think, right now tesla is at double bottom so who knows if it bounces, but if it doesnt we might see it go to 300-400 range imo@@yasarkhan672

[@infectionSincross]

wow. so he already earned like 200mil? just betting the prices? crazy men. rich men with money plays money like nothing,. lmao. and here we are getting a couple of bucks hard enough

[@fleetleader1013]

Tesla is prolly worth 100 a share without the hype and bs people are throwing into it. Frankly I’m shocked with a flip flopped ceo in charge that investors even trust the projections they are putting out. Endless delays and false promises from upper management, worker complaints piling up, lack of repair support in smaller communities, etc. Now actual car companies like Toyota, Ford, VW, etc are launching their own electric lineups in the next 5 years. Tesla was just too slow to get their stuff to market. They will wind up with decent market share, maybe 2-3%, but idiots are saying they will have 15-20% and paying out for that today are going to get burned over the long run. Tesla has a great battery and charging platform, frankly I think their autopilot is cool and they are way ahead atm on that. But it is not worth 1000 times PE.

[@VenerableBede2510]

That’s a great analogy

[@JDZeal-gl5le]

Because the U.S. Economy going into a recession for 4 years is somehow even nearly comparable to an event that dispersed 400 times more radioactive material into the Earth's atmosphere than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, causing 4 million known deaths, and God only knows how undiagnosed instances of unspeakable cancers. The level of "how serious of a thing are you willing to cover up" was orders of magnitude higher in Communist Russia in 1986 than it was on Wall Street in 2008. This comment is a politically motivated insult to the people who died or lost loved ones due to the Chernobyl disaster, to try and suggest that American Culture, even at the height of Capitalist greed, could ever be as corrupt as a Communist regime to the point they would cover up a thermonuclear holocaust. It's not a good analogy, it's thinly veiled political propaganda. Watch Margin Call and replace Kevin Spacey's line "you're going to kill the market for years" with "you're going to kill 4 million people and give 100 million more cancer" and see if the scene is still believable with Jeremy Irons' character still being willing to make that decision just for money. Absurd.

The beauty of capitalism. I'm not saying Capitalism is bad, it just needs to be heavily regulated.

[@drumyogi9281]

The only thing they didn't discuss is the 'Community Reinvestment Act' which forced the banks to give these loans out. Many politicians called these banks racist for the inequality on how many non white and non asian people were getting denied loans for mortgages. Everyone was guilty from the poor person who thought they deserved a big ass house with no money down and an adjustable rate mortgage to pretty much every institution. The problem was the regulations in place. To deny this is to deny reality.

They will at every pump they 10x margin trade ladder up and fib retracement .78, they'll let spot traders like you buy and prop prices, shorters are scared and nascent to pressure the trade, like upward bound BTC Jan to Feb. They're pumping this stuff up... pushed a gamma squeeze on the market makers who produce and offer options contracts. That just happened at $73... these market makers are looking to get even, they purchased plenty and haven't sold, instead they're trying to garner money back in feigning another gamma squeeze to $145 strike price getting lots of positions to buy into it; they have more than enough stocks on hand to fill any interest volume they've produced this time. There will be no gamma squeeze to $145 by those guys. Now, its margin traders, seeing how long they can keep selling into supported prices and propped up prices from extended trading by morons buying in at high prices after market. If you don't look whats going on and take profits and stop being the useful idiot, you're only following the herd of stupid. These parasites fester on that. Please for the love of all you hate, these shit sucker fuckers, STOP being the useful idiot. Take profits and walk away from this crazy train, or at least get wise to their shit. Get a TPO data feed chart to see these longers in action. Similar to Exocharts.com for BTC to see trade size (when various size orders from the biggest $1 million plus trade whales to small levels to the every day minnows) open a long or short. If you haven't started taking profits. Do so now. You only have a few weeks left. IF they fuck us over, we the fucking working shits... I'll take up hunting. Going hunting this time. Unless I've dropped kick this shitty country in the ass and left it by then. Which might be the case. Please be careful and look into what you're doing. I think they're fucking with you all. Someone has found a means to have useful idiots. Last time it was bankers and real-estate and hoodwinking son's of fucks on tv provoking people to get into the real-estate business, buy a house for a rental or this or that... lever your fucker tits up on an introductory mortgage payment free for a year payment plan that goes variable after; no down no nothing.

It’s shouldn’t be a problem with capitalism. The problem is we let people assign value to thin air, then trade that value for profit. There is no underpinning in actual capital. Therefore it is not capitalism. It’s, at best, financial mis-direction. At worst, plain criminal activity.

[@Ancor_Vantian]

It is not an inherent problem with Capitalism by itself, but more of a issue with human nature. The subprime bonds only existed _because_ greed because second nature to the bank industry after getting accustomed to 'safe' bets of Prime bonds. They could not allow the wheel to slow down. Unfortunate but at least it is clear. To fight this nature we would need control, in the form of regulations, to keep those greedy desires in check (or at least try to) *but*, and here come Capitalism back, by it self it does not like to be control. In order for the 'Free Market' to function properly, it needs, well freedom. _But_ granting too much freedom leads to outcomes such as this? Do you see the crux of the situation? How do we tackle this? Feel free to reply.
