  • Actually, part 3 is mislabeled. It should be #4. The correct part 3 which shows the development of the Black Scholes Model and them getting the nobel is missing.

    Hopefully it will be posted sometime.

  • Great documentary. Im no Warren Buffet but this made a technical financial concept digestible. Would love to see a doc about the recent housing collapse.

  • @alexnuffsaid1 totally so. the more i study it, the more i realize economics is such a blunt fucking lie.

    I wish I could bet 333$ having risked just 1$. I wish I could create debt-slave-ponzi-fiat-money and ask interest payment for my service, from whole national populations.

  • @superdiza i guess we should stop believing in arithmetics, economics doesnt work with those mathematics

  • How can you borrow 100 billion $, having just 3b$ ?

    How can you enter a position of 1,000 billion using that?

    did they leveraged x333, or is this documentary missing some numbers?

  • Answer for the question at 3:40 you get out when the pain of losing just $1 more is greater than the pain of admitting you are wrong!

  • Trillion dollars from 1 company on the line, now imagin the whole derivative bubble

    close to a quadrillion in total. dooooom

  • the particular phrase being talked about here is called "confirmation bias"

  • @alique087, I am very aware that his equations are used today. I was talking about his involvement w/LTCM and the investment strategy that they were using based on his formula. And evidently he was WRONG about something because the gov't eventually had to bail them out like it did for AIG!!!

  • Four words: Security Analysis: Benjamin Graham

  • @prodigee411 Is fear programmed into the computers?
