No one is responsible for your hard-earned money but yourself

In the past two days, some friends have just come to me to ask about investment. In fact, it may not be considered investment. Their central idea is to tell them what to buy for "financial management". I was also in a hurry. After popularizing some of the products that were more suitable for them, I also talked about how to configure cash flow and risk. In the end, they all said: So you say, what is better for me to buy?

Nowadays, it is not easy for people to make money, but they are very casual about investment. They blindly believe in the so-called authority, and experts buy and invest. Can't say experts they're all wrong, but the ass decides the head. I think it should be after absorbing theoretical methods and figuring out a plan that suits you. No one will know your needs better except yourself.

Going back to the film, I have seen "The Big Short" before, which is a footnote to the popular film version of this documentary, but this film not only talks about the occurrence of this crisis, but also exposes how this group of promoters helped each other to accomplish this. Field "looting". Ordinary people who want to get out of this financial market that eats people without spitting out bones must learn to understand where every penny of their own money comes from, otherwise they will only be "guarded and stolen". In the iQIYI version I watched, the subtitle translation was a bit inaccurate. Fortunately, there were no complicated sentences in the play that did not affect the viewing, and the title translation was particularly good. The logic of the whole film is very clear. Even if the interviewer does not cooperate and makes up random things, the reporter's question has already allowed us to see the essence. Many people see this and say that the power of capital is too terrible, and socialism is better. In fact, darkness is everywhere, and it is the 1% who have the right to speak since ancient times. When you have the ability to think independently, you may be lucky enough to be among the 1%; at least it won't be the last 1%.

The soundtrack and the tone of the filming are light-hearted, although such a painful topic, it still does not make people feel depressed. The only thing that struck me was that Mishkin's image in my heart collapsed, his nonsense when confronted with questioning, and his powerless refutation when confronted with evidence, hey.
