Today& #39;s social distancing movie is Margin Call, so I can say, yeah, I did career development while I was laid off.
I& #39;ve never seen it before, unlike many of my other choices, but it& #39;s about an unnamed investment bank& #39;s handling of the 2008 financial crisis.
(I& #39;ve never worked for an IB. I& #39;ve worked for a mid-sized financial services company and then a regional broker-dealer. Maybe that& #39;s my next stop? Might have to sell the rest of my soul though.)
The misogyny? Accurate. #MarginCall
The lack of vapes is really what marks this as a period piece. #MarginCall
"Tranches are pieces of a pooled collection of securities, usually debt instruments, that are split up by risk or other characteristics in order to be marketable to different investors." #MarginCall
"A Mortgage Backed Security is made of multiple mortgage pools (or tranches) that have a wide variety of loans, from safe loans with lower interest rates to risky loans with higher rates." #MarginCall
Maybe it& #39;s the Slytherin in me jumping out, but, yeah, even though moves like this fucked up the global economy, of course, the people in charge are going to make them. #MarginCall
Cohen and Robertson talking about sensitive info like one of the cleaning ladies wasn& #39;t standing between them? *Chef& #39;s kiss* Seen it happen. #MarginCall
Also seen the female executive get thrown to wolves too.
This is also a vampire movie. #MarginCall
