I'm just a trader

I’m just a trader.
Yes, I’m just a trader at the bottom of Wall Street.
I watched this movie when I watched more than half of it (personal habit~). I almost gave out some hot reviews when I saw it. With this kind of comment, it’s a very good movie about the financial crisis, but there are some anticlimactic, the top notes are so atmospheric, and the thrilling and thrilling clearance of these hours, it only took a few phone calls to end, I want to say The thing is that this is a financial crisis, not an eavesdropping situation, how can you expect it to shoot? The essence of the financial market is scams. The lowest level scams are people with low financial IQ (it doesn’t mean to belittle the majority of retail investors, but many people are really unsuitable) to cheat people with lower financial IQs, that is, Chinese retail investors’ favorite inside information. ~~ This is a low-level scam, the next higher level of scams is in the stock market, through the stock trading window, the most advanced scam is the last few calls in the film, that is a scam by people with high financial intelligence. People with high financial intelligence, a phone call, a few jokes and a few bargaining, hundreds of millions of transactions are completed. Those bonds can only be sold like this, not the stock trading window you imagine, but there is no fucking limit.
I can deeply feel the kind of helplessness that is ubiquitous in the film. Everyone is helpless, as big as the boss, as small as the newcomer who arrives for the first time, isn't it the same in the real world? No matter if you earn 250,000 a year or 2.5 million a year, you will find that the flowers are gone. You still have to run for money, the previous 30,000 years? FUCK! How did I survive that time! ?
The writing seems a bit messy. . . It’s just because my salary is nearly 20 times higher than when I first worked in the chemical plant, but what happiness do I get? Maybe not as good as before.
At the end of the film, when everyone knows the problem. A very human question was raised. Is this appropriate? Because it will kill a lot of people.
I don’t want to comment. I just want to tell a short story. A car with constant power is full of people. The car is driving on the road. The setting is that the lighter the car, the faster the speed. The fat man is as fat as a person in a 1/10 car. He found a problem. The end of the road is a cliff. At this time, he jumped the car and suffered the least injury. But once he jumped, the car would accelerate a lot. The one who jumps in the back will suffer a lot heavier injuries than him. Should he jump? If he doesn't jump, will the second person who finds that the end of the road is a cliff also won't jump because of his conscience?
The result is that the car is getting faster and faster, and the earlier the awakening is, the less the injury will be. The one who jumps before the car falls off the cliff can be mixed with a vegetative person, and all those who don't jump will go to see God.
The person who jumped the car is not wrong, because the car is there and the principle of the car remains the same. Just like the last BOSS said in those years, the same thing will always happen again and again.

    The biggest criticism of financial movies is that some people are talking loudly, talking about the same sentences and arguments for non-professionals for half an hour and an hour, and then at the climax, they think that they are in foreplay, and they have all shot. The person watching hasn't hardened yet. Don't shovel, I'm flustered!

Margin Call quotes

  • Will Emerson: You know, the feeling that people experience when they stand on the edge like this isn't the fear of falling - it's the fear that they might jump

  • Sam Rogers: Thank you all for coming in a little early this morning. I know yesterday was pretty bad and I wish I could say that today is gonna be less so, but that isn't gonna be the case. Now I'm supposed to read this statement to you all here, but why don't you just read it on your own time and I'll just tell you what the fuck is going on here. I've been here all night... meeting with the Executive Committee. And the decision has been made to unwind a considerable position of the firm's holdings in several key asset classes. The crux of it is... in the firms thinking, the party's over as of this morning. There's gonna be considerable turmoil in the Markets for the foreseeable future. And *they* believe it is better that this turmoil begin with us. As a result, the firm has decided to liquidate its majority position of fixed income MBS... today. These are your packets, you will see what accounts you're responsible for, today. I'm sure it hasn't taken you long to understand the implications of this sale, on your relationships with your counter parties and as a result... on your careers. I have expressed this reality to the Executive Committee, and they understand. As a result, if you achieve a 93% sale of your assets, you will receive a 1.4 million dollar one-off bonus. If the floor as a whole achieves a 93% sale, you will get an additional 1.3 million dollars apiece. For those of you who've never been through this before, this is what the beginning of a fire sale looks like. I cannot begin to tell you how important the first hour and half is gonna be. I want you to hit every bite you can find: dealers, brokers, clients, your *mother* if she's buying. And... no swaps, it's outgoing only, today. Obviously this is not going down the way that any of us would have hoped, but... the ground is shifting below our feet, and apparently, there's no other way out.
