There is shit every year, and every year someone buys it - write to Xiaosan

I have been learning and trying domestic commodity futures trading since most of the A-shares were withdrawn in the last 10 years, so I am very interested in all the information on margin trading. As soon as a tragedy caused by a futures trader's insufficient margin, I finally found out that I was wrong.
First of all, I have to say that I am a graduate student, I have never been to MIT, let alone SHIT, and I do not have a professional degree in finance, so I don’t know much about the distribution of most financial derivatives in the film and the cumbersome valuation formulas, but through the basic knowledge of securities After studying and accumulating some trading experience, fortunately it did not affect the understanding of the film or the impact was not great, but after reading the comments of the majority of netizens, I am amused by the interpretation and reaction caused by the plot. Duanzi, I saw it on Weibo a short time ago, saying that it is a small factory manager who opened a machine repair factory to Songzhuang. Every day at the gate, he is repairing agricultural machinery such as tractors and agricultural vehicles for the nearby farmer Uncle Bo, and the result is every day. Three or five people were watching, but in the end they all asked the repairman the same question: "Brother, what do you want to express in this work?".
It must be that people in the industry and the so-called "outside the circle" have different feelings after watching it. In my opinion, the plot and the thoughts to be expressed cannot be clearer. In the film, the ultimate boss, Todd, who is sitting on a gray machine, clearly tells Sam that the solution to the problem is not complicated at all. We are all salesmen. We must sell as much shit as possible in our company's hands. The more the better.
Let's bounce back to reality, this kind of thing has been happening all over the world since the advent of securities, because the unique temperament of human beings has never been eliminated. Every day we receive calls from brokerages and financial institutions to sell wealth management products, and every day there are analysts on TV websites and media giving advice on the country. Is this really useful? Newton was able to use physical formulas to calculate the orbits of celestial bodies tens of thousands of light-years away, but he lost everything because of his participation in the stock market. In the film, the risk assessment analyst relied on a formula to calculate that the derivatives held by the company had actually exploded the company's account until the storm came. What kind of magic bullshit formula is this? Why didn't you count earlier?
It is true that I have always expressed sympathy for the bankrupt investors and the displaced unemployed in the deep storm, because I have also learned a profound lesson from the failure of speculation. Admitting to be a failure at this point. It made me laugh to see Sullivan talking in the car on the way to Sam, this guy really shouldn't be in this show, I personally think he played the brain-eating Ghibli in "Heroes" better. And everyone seems to be very interested in the aunt in the elevator. It is conceivable that when 70% of the company's employees are laid off, the impact on this aunt is not great. The sweeping aunt who hangs from the neck and jumps off the building is the same. When Xiaosan rushed into the market with their hard-earned money, they didn't expect that what was waiting for them was a white knife in and a red knife out. They didn't even know that their hard work was all to pay the people who sold their shit to buy DB9 and 50,000 There are 70,000 yuan for the clothes and the lady's money.
The most worth mentioning is the task of Sam, who keeps saying how we did such a disgusting thing. I personally think he is the most disgusting one. When watching the film, I once thought he would be like "American Beauty". Gun broke himself, but as the story progressed, it was discovered that this guy's professionalism and courage were not at all worthy of his greatest ambition. From the beginning to the end, he put on a face of justice that was out of mud and unstained. Is he really worried that the company is over? No, he is just worried that the shit in his hand will not be sold in the future, and he is worried that the annual salary of millions will be lost. He himself said that he is short of money. He's just paying to keep his dog alive for a few more days. It totally means he does the dirty work. Compared with him, the performance of the ultimate boss is perfect. Todd, who is not afraid of things, educates this executive who has been in the business for 34 years while eating breakfast. Brother, I have never seen such a big storm. He is really a giant.
The master said that the market is never wrong. At the end of the film, Todd says that our environment has never changed, and the ratio of losers to winners has never changed. When countless interests were chasing and choosing to take over, he had already picked up a revolver loaded with a bullet. When Xiaosan picked up the gun, most of them were already dead. Are you still skeptical about this, and still superstitious about some bullshit value theory? Let me tell you, the tycoons cost 30 cents to buy a share, and they can still earn 2,500% if they sell at the market price of three limit-downs. You know how to die.
Finally, let’s talk about the title of the film. The storm of interests should be the best way to
stay away from the market and cherish life.

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.
