Kyle Bass @ AmeriCatalyst 2010 | 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind'

NOTE: This video has been on Vimeo since late 2010, early 2011. Now that YouTube accepts videos longer than 15 minutes, we're posting it here. Enjoy! We'll update with Kyle Bass Redux after AmeriCatalyst 2011, Nov. 6-8

As Founder and Managing Partner of Hayman Advisors, LP, J. Kyle Bass has proven himself to be one of the most well respected hedge fund managers and forecasters in the global investment community. Renowned for his conviction as well as his investment savvy, Bass hit the headlines with his prescient trades in shorting the subprime mortgage market in 2007. Behind the headlines was one of the most unique and rigorous investment methodologies ever used in mortgage-related investing. Since that time, Bass has been one of the most proactive investors in Washington and abroad, warning about unsustainable fiscal deficits poised to destabilize the global economy and markets with a magnitude similar to the 1930s.
Todd Groome and Toni Moss spoke with Kyle at AmeriCatalyst 2010 in Austin in September, asking him about his thoughts on prospects for housing market recovery, current policy issues and national debt implications, global debt imbalances and his perspectives on the influence of policy on the timing, sequence and magnitude of potential sovereign defaults and debt restructurings.

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, it cuts off at the end right when Kyle is about to get into something interesting. I'm dying to hear what he had to say right there!

I hope you guys post Kyle's presentation / interview from AmeriCatalyst 2011.

Here is one of the smartest men on earth telling you that we will witness the end of the Western world in the next 3 - 4 years as we know it.

Wake up people!

I'm seriously considering writing Bass in as my vote for President...

I don't care if he knows nothing about foreign policy, etc...hell, Obama doesn't either...

...and besides, he we don't get our fiscal/monetary crap together, it's not going to matter anyway.

@ChrysalisMusic - General Montegomery Megis wrote a paper "Unorthodox Thoughts about Asymmetric Warfare" - where he states a danger can lie in financial markets to outside manipulation as a form of terrorism. So I'm guessing he was going to tie the two together.
