Great movie.
The never ending self repeating bubble bursting in financial markets. An event where autistics and skeptics find an opportunity of a lifetime to make millions and billions.
Human greed is boundless. And sometimes it takes years to catch up. But don't worry, it's always the small fry that gets burned.
And the worst part of it all is the fraudulence of the whole system, so that it can just fuel all that greed and banker bonuses.
Performances by Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, and as always Christian Bale, were outstanding.

Overheard at a Washington, D.C. bar: "Truth is like poetry. And most people fucking hate poetry."

On screen quotation from Haruki Murakami's novel "IQ84": Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come."

Charlie Geller: Our investment strategy was simple. People hate to think about bad things happening so they always underestimate their likelihood.

Mark Baum: We live in an era of fraud in America. Not just in banking, but in government, education, religion, food, even baseball... What bothers me isn't that fraud is not nice. Or that fraud is mean. For fifteen thousand years, fraud and short sighted thinking have never, ever worked. Not once. Eventually you get caught, things go south. When the hell did we forget all that? I thought we were better than this, I really did.

Mark Baum: Paulson and Bernanke just left the White House. There's going to be a bailout. They knew. They knew the taxpayers would bail them out. They weren't being stupid. They just didn't care.

Mark Baum: I have a feeling in a few years people are going to be doing what they always do when the economy tanks. They will be blaming immigrants and poor people.

Mark Baum: Short everything that man has touched.

Mark Baum: I'm going to find moral redemption at the roulette table.

Rabbi: Paul is a fine boy, and Mark is an excellent student of the Torah and the Talmud.
Mark Baum's Mom: Then what's the problem, rabbi?
Rabbi: It's the reason Mark is studying so hard. He's looking for inconsistencies in the word of God!
Mark Baum's Mom: So has he found any?

Mark Baum: The banks have given us 25% interest rates on credit cards. They have screwed us on student loans that we can never get out from under. Then this guy walks into my office and says those same banks got greedy, they lost track of the market, and I can profit off of their stupidity? Fuck, yeah, I want him to be right!

Michael Burry: That's a nice haircut. Did you do it yourself?

Michael Burry: I met my wife on match.com. My profile said that I'm a medical student with only one eye, an awkward social manner, and 145,000$ in student loans. She wrote back, "You're just what I've been looking for!" She meant honest.

Michael Burry: Making money is not like I thought it would be. This business kills the part of life that is essential. The part that has nothing to do with business. For the past two years, my insides... have felt like they're eating themselves. All the people I respected won't talk to me anymore except through lawyers. People want an authority to tell them how to value things... but they choose this authority not based on facts or results. They choose it because it seems authoritative and familiar. And I am not and never have been "familiar". So... So, I've come to the sullen realization that I must close down the fund. Sincerely, Michael J. Burry, M.D.

Jared Vennett: Let's not talk about my margins being nice and fat... By the way, that's a nice shirt, do they make it for men?

Mark Baum: [on cell phone] Hey... excuse me! Let me ask you this: What company treats its customers that shittily and succeeds?
Jared Vennett: [inaudible]
Mark Baum: [on cell phone] Fine... ok... Goldman...

Jared Vennett: In the years that followed, hundreds of bankers and rating-agency executives went to jail. The SEC was completely overhauled, and Congress had no choice but to break up the big banks and regulate the mortgage and derivative industries. Just kidding! Banks took the money the American people gave them, and used it to pay themselves huge bonuses, and lobby the Congress to kill big reform. And then they blamed immigrants and poor people, and this time even teachers! And when all was said and done, only one single banker went to jail this poor schmuck!

Epilogue: When the dust settled from the collapse, 5 trillion dollars in pension money, real estate value, 401k, savings, and bonds had disappeared. 8 million people lost their jobs, 6 million lost their homes. And that was just in the USA.

Epilogue: Charlie Geller and Jamie Shipley attempted to sue the ratings agencies but were laughed out of all law offices. Jamie still runs Brownfield but Charlie left New York to live in Charlotte and start a family. Ben Rickert now lives with his wife on a large orchard. They have plenty of seeds.

Epilogue: Michael Burry contacted the government several times to see if anyone wanted to interview him to find out how he knew the system would collapse years before anyone else. No one ever returned his calls. But he was audited four times and questioned by the FBI. The small investing he still does is all focused on one commodity: water.

Epilogue: In 2015 several large banks began selling billions in something called a "bespoke tranche opportunity" which, according to Bloomberg News, is just another name for a CDO.
