    If you are into investing...... you must watch this movie.
    You will have a clear idea on what is a bubble, what is a market crash,
    what happens next and etc.
    This movie will give you the exact idea of the Depth of the Market.

    I invite all of you to watch this.



    Feel free to share your thoughts....

    A film that offers food for thought. In the world of shorting may I suggest watching this film and studying the life of, Issac Le Maire. My opinion and to cover my bases it is solely an opinion and not to be taken as advice. The movie has its benefits. To understand what a short is and to help not take it in the shorts. Read History. Again to all readers, my post is solely opinion and taken as anything else could cause confusion.

    Re: The Big Short

    If you know more than the basics, read the book because the movie is a dumbed down version for the general population that has a minimum of financial literacy.

    Another worthwhile read is "House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street" by William D. Cohan. It's a deep slog into the inner workings of Bear Stearns before their failure. Also, not for those who like simplified movies :)
