The Big Short Page #10
And people thought they
would never go down!
People who are watching and think
that I won't lose will make a side-bet
now this, is the first synthetic cdo
I love Selena Gomez!
I'll bet you fifteen million, she wins!
And I'll give you 3-to-1 odds!
3-to-1 odds?
Okay, I'll take that bet!
Now!
Somebody else is gonna wanna make
a bet on the outcome of their bet!
15 million she wins!
That will lead to synthetic cdo number two!
Hey!
I bet you 200 million,
that lady in the glasses, wins that bet!
She probably will win!
So I want great pay-off!
How about 20-to-1?
Deal!
And this will go on and on,
with more and more synthetic cdo's
and we can transform
an original ten million dollar investment
into billions of dollars
you're ok?
No!
So I'm going to leave
you think I'm a parasite
don't you mister baum?
But apparently society values me,
very much.
En fin, let's do this!
I'll tell you,
how much I'm worth.
You tell me how much you're worth!
You are an incredibly...
Big piece of sh*t!
Short everything that guy has touched,
I want half a billion more in swaps
sure about that?
The collateral calls could bankrupt you!
Yeah!
Where are you going?
I am going to try to find moral redemption
and to re-lactate
hey, hey, hey!
These are percentages of
honey, I do think the
economy might collapse!
You've been saying that
the system is broken for years mark
why are you so shocked?
It's more twisted, than
I could have imagined!
You love to be the virtuous one
I'm a banker, I'm a part of it!
You always have mark!
Like you're untainted
Into a person,
who is not able to reach out to someone
he was in pain, my brother
was in real pain!
I lost so much!
There is no perfect way to help
it sounds scary!
So, stop!
Trying to fix the world!
He told me
you're not a Saint,
saints don't live on park Avenue!
That he was having bad thoughts.
Just feel the feelings,
like the rest of us!
My first response...
Was, to offer him some money.
I offered him f***ing money!
His face was so smashed!
Michael?
Michael?
Yes, yes!
Is everything ok?
Yes honey!
Sure?
Yeah baby!
All fine, hehe!
To all investors, as you may know,
our agreement allows me,
to take extraordinary measures
when markets aren't functioning properly
I currently have reason to believe
the mortgage-bond market is fraudulent
so, in order to protect investors
from this fraudulent market
I've decided to restrict
investor withdrawals
until further notice.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael j. Burry
oh my god dude, we...
Please stop changing the channel
it's been driving me crazy!
Fine!
Just put the business-news on please.
Thank you!
And the s&p picked up three points
Jesus!
Mortgage meltdown continues
sub-prime mortgage-lender
new century financial
once the industry-leader by
the way, filed for bankruptcy
the company immediately, ahem!
Good time for my voice to go
fired 3,200 workers
the manufacturing-index also
put out the month of march
it's starting...
A warning that the
economic growth could slow
the institute of sub-prime assets
also reported a rise of prices
I'm gonna call my mom!
The principle source of the
slowdown of economic growth
time, and time, and time again
have I bought them back from you Marcus
we've know each-other for seventeen years
she's got some lungs on her I'm impressed!
Can't help but enjoy it.
There's no f***ing way, there's no f***ing
way, that the big banks are that stupid!
Bye Kathy!
Well?
Kathy thinks it would be a good
idea if we sold our shorts
what else is new?
And she said that
Morgan-Stanley will buy them
holy sh*t!
What did you say?
I told her we're not selling sh*t!
Ah, if you need the.. Ehm,
files for 2005
mister field's suit is very specific
to files from the past year
good, then get out!
Say hi to Lawrence for me! And both do!
You can't call me back for a week?
I'm so sorry Mike!
Goldman had a systems failure
I lost a ton of messages!
B of a said they had a power outage, and
Morgan-Stanley said their server crashed!
Huh!
That's weird!
Meh, I will, I will call
it, improbable sue.
Where do you have our position-mark?
I think it's the same Mike
what? Can you explain that to me please?
H-h-h how can the value
of an insurance-contract
not be affected by the demise
of the very thing it insures?
They're independent markets,
they're not always correlated!
I know it sounds odd,
but these are very complicated products!
They are correlated!
They're gonna lose their
houses, they're gonna
lose their jobs, they're
gonna lose their p..
Will you listen to me!
This is like... the end of capitalism!
This is like the dark ages all-over again!
I don't want to talk to dad!
Okay, I love you too, save your money!
She says I need to be on Xanax,
and double my dose of Zoloft
I asked bear-stearns to price our shorts
they tell me the cdo's still haven't moved
this is f***ing insane!
You realize that? These people are
crooks and they should be in prison!
Look at the theta-graphics,
you can see that the cdo's are worth zero!
So you know what they're doing huh?
You know what they're doing right?
Yeah!
They're not loading them...
They're selling their dogshit cdo's
then they go to another bank
and short the sh*t, while they f***ing sold it!
Whoo ho ho, let's go to the press man!
This is a massive story!
Who wouldn't publish it?
Robert redford!
Shorting the ones they were gonna buy
I got it, I got it!
I got it, I got it...
And what am I supposed to do?
Want me to write a piece called:
"We're all f***ed!"
Yes!
That's a perfect title!
Right now, every bank in town
is unloading these sh*t-bonds
under un-suspecting customers
and they won't devalue them
until they get them off their books
this level of criminality is unprecedented
even on f***ing wall-street!
Jamie...
This is me being honest here okay.
relationships on wall-street
no bank or ratings-agency
is gonna confirm a story like this
just because it comes from two guys in a...
Garage-band hedge-fund that
thinks it's the apocalypse.
Wow!
I thought you were for real Casey
you know, I have to say, I really did!
Yeah Jamie, you try being for
real with a three-year old
and a wife getting her masters-degree
I'm not gonna burn my
reputation on your wild hunch
wow!
Thanks for coming guys,
totally f***ing awesome to see you!
Yeah. Casey, I've always hated you
because you were a prick in college
and you are a prick today!
Thanks Charlie!
Still living with your mom?
Charlie, come on!
It's mark baum again. Call me!
Sub-prime bonds fell off a cliff
rumor has it default-numbers are huge!
Who got their remittance-data early?
I bet it's Goldman
nah, f*** you very much!
Jared!
It's chaos down here, where are we?
And Caesar wept,
for there were no more worlds to conquer.
Shane...
