Long time friends, close relationship that supersedes their roles within the firm. There is also a conflict of beliefs between the two. Sam is still grasping at the notion that what he does has some true productive value behind it. He is great at his job but yearns some redemption to actually create/build something productive. That's why he struggles to follow John's direction, even though, on a fundamental basis, that is the correct move. John sees the reality for what it is and has no qualms about it. He is playing the game of banking and making the right moves to win in the situation. He has no disillusions about it. Hence why he is the CEO. The breakfast scene later in the movie strongly concludes on this.

Their boss, Will, says you have to believe the work has a useful, if cynical, function in society to last in the business. His boss, Sam, also believes the work has meaning and purpose, and this crisis breaks that belief. His (and everyone's) boss, John, comes back round to doing it for the money, because they work on cycles of boom and bust, and it might as be you coming out on top.

Their firm will undoubtedly put a lot of people out of business. And everyone who survives, everyone who rebuilds, and everyone who starts fresh afterwards will not only do business with them, they'll respect them for being smart enough to know when to get out. As long as he plays it right, John Tuld knows that if they can survive, they can fix it. But they do have to survive.

But the truth is, the entire Wall St was trading it. These MBS products were everywhere, and not necessarily created by this firm. There is no moral implication in selling you something that you already have and have been trading for years. Its just that I am the first one to figure out its all garbage and Im exiting my position. Im not misrepresenting the sale. You know what you are buying, and would have done your own DD.

I think the fact that a junior analyst spotted it was what convinced Tuld that "the music has stopped".

But this was the signal that the truth was about to become widely known.

This is why Tuld is the BOSS. He can make the simple decision to get out now before everybody else finds out. He knows hard times are ahead and most firms will go bust and also a lot of people in his firm will get fired. This is a decision a CEO/Chairman is expected to do, nothing personal, its about being accountable to the company and it's stockholders (he probably also owned a big piece of the firm himself). Had Tuld not made this decision the firm would have gone bust and they would have all lost their jobs and fortunes. Sam was emotional about the situation and felt bad for the people on the other side. He wanted to feel that he made a positive contribution to society even though he knows it was just all about money. John schools him in the end that its just a game and nothing to feel ashamed about. In a situation like this you cant let any emotions get in the way. And thats why John Tuld makes the big bucks.

They were short MBS months earlier, buying swaps against their own products. The big banks knew it was coming and were ready for it.

Absolutely. Selling to someone who is willing to buy is not the issue. The problem was that the selling people were selling to brokers who knowingly used American 401k funds to purchase what they knew had zero value but did so anyway because they worked on "per trade" commission. We citizens lost $1.7 trillion, & then an additional $700 billion that the banks had the Government steal from us as a "bailout". They then used that bailout money to lend to the same people who robbed us in the beginning, to buy back the homes they made us lose & a huge discount. The US economy has been rolling the same $2.3 Trillion dollars since it was first reported missing in 2001.

Incredible battle of ideology. Neither are right or wrong. You follow Sam and another firm will simply do what they're considering and everyone loses. They follow John and they're basically just lighting a wick (that's already been lit) closer to the stick of dynamite, but have time to run for cover before anyone else knows what they've done. John is right. The 2007 crash was not the doing of just one firm. It was a concerted effort by many. You either grab a life boat before there aren't any left or you go down with the ship.

Sam was fighting this because he knew what was going to happen and he didn't want to be a part of it. He didn't want to do it as he knew that it was going to haunt him in his sleep. Even though it's still going to happen if you are a part of it you feel bad. In the end he did just for the reasons that you pointed out. It's the most rational thing to do. He is the most realistic character of the entire movie in my opinion. I would have behaved in absolutely the same way that he did were I in his position.

@@svfutbol20 Yeah but you really should know if you're able to pay for it or not even if the banks are willing to lend you that money. You really shouldn't be taking out a 400k mortgage loan with 0 down at 8% if you're making minimum wage. That means you'll be paying just the interest on the loan forever until you die. No one's forcing you to take out the loan but you foolishly do it anyway because you hope that the property value appreciates and you'd be able to flip the house. It the greed of both parties, not just the banks, that cause these mess because it takes two to tango.

@@amsd1231 They are uninformed because the bank servicing the loan didn't inform them. Simple as that. A multibillion dollar organization with thousands of MBA, finance and business grads and lawyers to write up the contracts should have the burden of making sure their customers know every detail about what they are signing. but then they run the risk of not selling the loan, right? At that time, there was very little oversight in that regard. Look into the number of lawsuits that came out of the loaning industry. Not just big banks and mortgages, but small predatory lending as well.

Sam had a moral centre a human failing in this sort of business. He was thinking about the workers on the floor that would ruin their careers if they agreed to the ask he would inevitably make and he was thinking of the households that would end up decimated because they bought the trash he knew they were about to sell. Being the head of a money management group isn't some noble calling. They create nothing but heartache and destruction except for the lucky few at the top who get to grow fat off of the spoils. There's a reason why CEOs tend to have personality traits akin to sociopaths.

How did they create a culture of sub prime mortgages to begin with, and how in the hell did they get bundled into AAA ratings? I can't believe it was negligence, at that level, as stated. I would love to hear an expert analysis of this claim. As great as this film is, it sounds to me like they sweep the fundamentals under the rug and write them off as the incompetency of incredibly capable and thorough people. Are the people who packaged and rated these bonds even in jail for criminal negligence?
@shera18154 жыл бұрын
Deregulation of the OTC markets starting with the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act among others, number one. Number two it was both greed AND negligence. They were negligent in that they knew that these kinds of loans were a shitty idea, to begin with, and that they would ultimately default, but they didn't care and ignored the warning signs until they did actually default. The money they initially made off them was just too good to pass on, so they swept the fundamentals under the rug and kept on pushing them in order to make their money. This isn't exactly illegal either. Highly immoral and unethical, sure, hence what Kevin Spacey's character was complaining and worrying about, but not illegal, so why would they be in jail for criminal negligence? It would only be a crime if they intentionally lied about its value, or sold it to illegal parties, which they didn't. People knew how shit these loans were but didn't care and willingly bought and sold them anyway because again, the quick profits and turnaround were just too good to ignore.

Well to be accurate, even being able to build and construct financial derivatives requires you to have a deep understanding of advanced calculus and logarithms many of which are used by the financial and the scientific industry alike. So these people come across such people everyday, so Sullivan is not a one-off. There are probably other people in the firm who are as intelligent but decided to use that to make money instead of putting effort into rocket science. Hence they created securities like the CDOs and MBS which can't be understood unless you have a really good insight into mathematical models.
