A brief comment as a migrant worker~

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.

    A handsome analyst (visually Lehman) completed the model left by his former boss during overtime in the middle of the night, and then found that the MBS in their hands was too risky and the VaR would be exploded at any time, so he summoned the superior, the superior was crazy, and then The decision-makers came to the meeting in the middle of the night in a helicopter and decided to sell all the bombs they had on their hands early the next day at a low price. During the process, the three generations of actors from the old, middle and youth played violently with each other, with too many familiar faces, and they kept acting...

Margin Call quotes

  • John Tuld: Maybe you could tell me what is going on. And please, speak as you might to a young child. Or a golden retriever. It wasn't brains that brought me here; I assure you that.

  • [first lines]

    Seth Bregman: Just like that? Jesus Christ! Are they going to do it right here?

    Will Emerson: You guys ever been through this before?

    Seth Bregman: No.

    Will Emerson: It's best to keep your head down and ignore it. Keep your head down and go back to work.
