1. The original title, Margin Call, I think it works well.

2. MBS or CDO or whatever, the market is not so liquid, so it is impossible to clear the stock in one day.

3. There is always someone who is responsible for it. It has nothing to do with who is responsible. The female director was very sad, and was sacrificed by the boss just one day after the victory. The film describes office politics well.

4. The trading desk should be isolated from risk. This is a bug.

5. Never be superstitious about VaR. Even if there is no other choice, don’t set the threshold too low.

6. The trading halls in the film are sincere. Big, hundreds of Bloomberg machines~ I am very envious~

7. This film should become one of the movies that students of finance should watch in the future.

8. It's not about lehman bro. It may be GS or BS.

9. The film has nothing to do with ethics. Each role made the appropriate decision in its position. One sentence of the big boss is very accurate: we are only selling to buyers who are willing to buy at the fair value at this moment. The completion of all normal transactions in the world depends on the different valuations of buyers and sellers. It can only be said that the pricing capabilities of the citi and ml that accept the plate are not good, that's it.

Margin Call quotes

  • John Tuld: So you think we might have put a few people out of business today. That its all for naught. You've been doing that everyday for almost forty years Sam. And if this is all for naught then so is everything out there. Its just money; its made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat. It's not wrong. And it's certainly no different today than its ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 37, 57, 84, 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987-Jesus, didn't that fuck up me up good-92, 97, 2000 and whatever we want to call this. It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves. And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react. And we make a lot money if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the side of the road if we get it wrong. And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers. Happy foxes and sad sacks. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world. Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same.

  • Will Emerson: Jesus, Seth. Listen, if you really wanna do this with your life you have to believe you're necessary and you are. People wanna live like this in their cars and big fuckin' houses they can't even pay for, then you're necessary. The only reason that they all get to continue living like kings is cause we got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I take my hand off and then the whole world gets really fuckin' fair really fuckin' quickly and nobody actually wants that. They say they do but they don't. They want what we have to give them but they also wanna, you know, play innocent and pretend they have no idea where it came from. Well, thats more hypocrisy than I'm willing to swallow, so fuck em. Fuck normal people. You know, the funny thing is, tomorrow if all of this goes tits up they're gonna crucify us for being too reckless but if we're wrong, and everything gets back on track? Well then, the same people are gonna laugh till they piss their pants cause we're gonna all look like the biggest pussies God ever let through the door.

    Seth Bregman: Do you think we're gonna be wrong?

    Will Emerson: [long pause] No, they're all fucked.
