The Big Short Page #3
Lawrence please, don't patronize me,
if... it .. Is...
Mortgage backed securities,
sub-prime loans, tranches...
Doesn't it make you feel bored...
Or stupid...
Well... it's supposed to.
Wall-street loves to use
confusing terms, to
make you think only they
can do what they do.
Or even better...
For you just to leave them the f*** alone.
So... here's Margot Robbie
in a bubble-bath to explain.
Basically, Lewis
rainieri's mortgage bonds
were amazingly profitable
for the big banks.
But then they ran out of
mortgages to put in them.
After all, there are only
so many homes and so many
people with good enough
jobs to buy them... right?
So the banks started filling these
bonds with riskier and riskier mortgages
thank you Henry
that way, they can keep that
profit machine churning right?
By the way, these risky
mortgages are called: Sub-prime.
So... whenever you hear sub-prime...
Think:
Sh*tour friend Michael burry found out,
that were supposedly 65 percent AAA,
were actually just, basically full of sh*t.
So now he's going to short the bonds
which means... bet against.
Got it?...
Good!
Now f*** off!
It's only a matter of
sees this investment,
we have to act now.
How do you know the bonds are worthless?
Aren't they filled with f***ing
thousands of pages of mortgages?
I read them!
You read them?
I read... yeah!
No-one reads them, only the lawyers
who put them together read them!
I don't think they even
know what they've made
propped up on these bad loans.
It's a time-bomb and I want to short it.
Through what instrument Michael?
There are no insurance-contracts
or options for mortgage bonds.
The bonds are too stable!
Lawrence...
This is what I'm gonna do...
I am gonna get a bank to make me one.
Then...
I'm gonna buy it.
I don't want that kind of business!
Money is not money!
That's bad money!
Hey... excuse me!
Let me ask you this: What company treats
its customers that shittily and succeeds?
Fine... ok... Goldman...
Without proving it
when he was a kid he excelled
at studying the Talmud and yeshiva.
Whatever!
But, one day his rabbi told his mom why.
Paul is a fine boy and mark is an
excellent student of the torah and Talmud
then what's the problem rabbi?
It's the reason mark is studying so hard.
He's looking for inconsistencies
in the word of god!
So has he found any?
Later Baum started his
own fund on wall-street.
He had an amazing nose for bullshit.
He wasn't afraid to let anyone know,
when and where the bull had gone number 2.
