WHATS THAT SONG 44:15
Comment from : Hayden Brophy

A fisherman or a construction worker can make 30k or 50k a year; a HFT or a hedge fund can make 30 millions a day - that just does not make any sense; we live in a sick society, ruled by the creators of money

Wall Street shouldn't exist in a normal society

Are the computers in these places protected from EMP's? Somebody with a "Pinch" as described on the movie Oceans Eleven could knock out the trading or disrupt it just enough to cause extreme inaccuracies Are their computers enclosed in what's called a Faraday Cage that block EMF, and EMP's, and grounds the energy?

Did these models have a drop down button in order to account for a epidemic, pandemic or plandemic???
Comment from : Dynamic Solution

Joel Tillinghast, fund manager at Fidelity, says the problem with quants can be too much abstraction They get so caught up in the math they forget they're dealing with shares of a company and not just abstract numbers
Comment from : Cerebral Caustic

I like how they defend the models, and bash the reality of the crashes Oh no, the models were good, it's just the behavior of real people is "illogical" Well no shit; humor is illogical, I guess that's why they don't see the irony Quants provided documentation to allow financial products that polluted the market they were modeling The people that allowed these financial products are gullible and greedy, something illogical if you value the stability and long term growth of the economic system they regulate
Comment from : AMPM

None of these models have any chance beyond being nearly a yardstick to measure with

I feel working from home is key to wealth creation, considering how remunerative investing on the online market can be I begin to wonder what if I got into it much earlier on

Comment from : Allan Simoes

The Stock market ( as it stands) is a ponzi scheme propped up by consumer cash The market will "correct" when the next generation(my parent generation) get ready to start cashing in their retirement( three months ago) That money has already been spent on Manhattan Rent, Cab Rides ( they capitalize Uber, so I started capitalizing Cab Rides), booze and five star food

18:23-19:35 Most important point in this video It's Wall St in a nutshell, especially private equity and hedge funds that benefit from the carried interest loophole
Comment from : Do_Not_Reply to this email

do you think you guys, great as you are, can spend sometime "solving difficult problems" 6:05 and come over and help the rest of the world with this cervasa sickness/deception instead of assisting and helping those who couldn't care less

Comment from : tasss550

28:15 He was trying really hard not to say that the market is already manipulated and controlled by institutions, and cant be quantified for that reason
Comment from : Justin Niederhauser

18:25 The funny thing is, investment bank will still take a cut, even if your stocks have blown up! They have fixed annual fees, even if there is great loss & they lost your money
Comment from : its everyday

From the ridiculous to the sublime, Bitcoin is plan B Constrained to the real world Thank you Plan B!

Thanks for the brilliantly well thought out video
Comment from : Kellington Link

Id be interested to learn what these guys think about one solution to the problems they laid out I can not help but think about cryptocurrency (which was just fledgling tech when this was filmed) Where my BTC boys at?
Comment from : Edward

1 Are quants anymore successful than technical (chart) analysis experts at anticipating stock market moves? 2 Are quants relevant is the post-Covid 19 market where the federal reserve is unpredictably buying etfs?
Comment from : Rx - Pert

if every one was to send 25 cents to a fund we the people to stand against the evils of this world we could legally take them down with no problems that 25 cents would equals eighty-one million nine hundred thousand and if that weren't enough we do it again drain the evils from there riches 50 cents equals one hundred sixty-three million eight hundred thousand 75 cents would equal two hundred forty-five million seven hundred thousand and for just one dolor it would equal a force to be reckon with a trust fund to fight injustice three hundred twenty-seven million six hundred thousand over six hundred million for just two bucks from every one in the usa lmao it would take so little if we would only come together stand united in god we do trust but what do i know , just a dreamer trying to live in a better world as it should be and or refuse to go back to work when they want us to go back and demand better wage better jobs demand the ride of corruption in all of our country's government we the people of this world in every country needs to stand untied and be the force to be reckon with honesty we are the power we the ones that built this world we have let other control what is becoming wrong in our every day lives we do not have to tear down city's or fight all we have to do is get a fund going in a way of a trust account for the cause or and do not go back to work when they want us to just to benefit there agenda of there needs of power control and slavery yet to come wake up world not just the usa but we the people of the world we need to stand to gather now
Comment from : Jim Baker

10:00 this guy's explaining what actually caused the crash Politicians (including senators Dodd & Frank) requiring Fannie & Freddie to buy subprime mortgages and not prime mortgages to "help" poor people borrow loads of money to buy houses Greed was certainly not just for the few bankers making big bucks
Comment from : romancandlefight

Interesting interviews, but the stupid creepy music and colour filtering suggests the documentary makers don't have a clue what they're saying
Comment from : romancandlefight

It is funny This was posted the 4th of mars 2010 At 39:35 he says the next crash might be in minutes 2 months later on May 2010 the crash comes in minutes :D
Comment from : Aicha Mm

Notice none of the guys were doing bad financially In fact living quite comfortably They whistleblow but only after they exited stage right and were also complicit their entire career? Sounds like the bank accounts drying up

951 that guys is bastard People like him caused the 2008 crisis
Comment from : kirab poni

Socomputers "overreacted" from reading the headlines and caused the "flash crash"? So, you can crash any stock by circulating a rumor and ONLY fooling the computers Do they even recognize sarcasm?
Comment from : a campbell

Didn't hear any "math wizards" at the beginning of this month (March 2020) before the crash Even I knew things were overpriced
Comment from : a campbell

So they were paid to try to make a regular "shell game" sound too complicated to understand (so the buyers could say they "didn't know the real risk" when they bought something that they didn't research)
Comment from : a campbell

28:59? Financial behavior history has repeated itself in capitalist societies for a very long time My algorithm shows greed to be a constant
Comment from : Freon Davis

who is proud in any corporate job today all corrupt - most greed just like our lawyers and politiciansrespect is never warranted American's must change what they value
Comment from : Angela R

thats bad , I wish Hft didnt exist
Comment from : Andy Newman

Just to use pure mathematical models in a system that is constantly being manipulated by the humans involved in that system sounds like a disaster waiting to happen In my view you got to take market history in to account in your models as well to account for the human factor + probably some margin of error as well
Comment from : Mikko

these guys have no one over them, so whatever they make up is the rule must feel pretty powerful, although its just convoluted conjecture

Comment from : Palmer Off Grid

The comment at 31:28 about the expectation for growth and the government stepping in lowering interest rates with financial "oscillations" getting bigger and bigger is starting to sound very prophetic right about now What happens when we can't make interest rates any lower?
Comment from : Physics Guy

who is the British guy and what is the book he is reading from?
