The Big Short is unique as a high budget Hollywood production that actually takes the time to properly portray the way that finance really worked behind the scenes and uses financial events to progress the plot rather than focusing on wild parties, sports cars and sexy ladies like some other movies that took a very different approach to storytelling. Similarly to the Wolf of Wall Street, the big short is a move based off a book only the wolf of wall street was an autobiography written by Jordan Belfort himself and The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine, was a standard non-fiction title that described the role of several players in the creation of the credit default market betting against the American housing market. The Big Short was written by Michael Lewis, a veteran financial journalist and the book really does read like a 320-page financial article, in that it’s very information dense but also very well researched and verified. For this video we will only be looking at the players that are in the movie, but the book does go into detail on some people that were either entirely cut from the film or merged into other characters to make the movie entertaining to a broader audience. Unfortunately, in the process of making it appealing as possible to cinema goers the movie did cut out some very important details, and also just straight up got some things wrong. So, it’s time to lean How Money Works and give you guys the investment banker’s insight into what really happened in the Big Short. #thebigshort #investing #finance ------- Edited By: Andrew Gonzales Music Courtesy of: Epidemic Sound Select Footage Courtesy of: Getty Images For sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.group All materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Selling a game once is great but it means there is a set amount of money that can be made from a set market of games. Exceptions do exist, somehow I have managed to buy Skyrim for the PS3, PS4 and PC, but I don’t like to talk about it. The problem here is that some people are only willing to spend $20 a month on video games where other people are happy to spend thousands. The only way to truly maximise profits is to get every possible gamer to pay the maximum possible amount that they are individually willing to pay for a game. #HowMoneyWorks #MicroTransactions #Monetization ___________________________________________________________________________ Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❤️ ___________________________________________________________________________ Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSR Music by Epidemic Sound Stock footage by Storyblocks Follow to learn How Money Works.

Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 With the collapse of FTX, the conviction of Elizabeth Holmes and the widespread rejection of everything NFT all happening within the space of a month, financial fraud is once again big news, and it should be because it is costing you your financial future. This is not your imagination either, incidents of identity theft, wire fraud, investment scams, pump and dumps, Ponzi schemes, phishing attacks, and sophisticated hacks are all at all time highs. Fraud cost Americans a total of 5.8 BILLION dollars in 2021, and most trackers suggest that number will be even greater this year. these stories can be easy to ignore because the victims of these crimes often had to, frankly, be pretty stupid and financially illiterate to get caught up in them. Anybody who has been anywhere near the internet in the last 20 years should know by now you don’t send money to Nigerian princes with yahoo email accounts or corporate executives playing league of legends during an investor meeting. It’s all pretty common-sense stuff, and you might then incorrectly assume that the rise in fraud is of no concern to you. When you really think about it that 5.8 Billion dollar figure sounds bad, until you work out that that’s only $17.50 per American for an entire year, not to flex too hard but I have spent more on a Starbucks coffee before. It’s hard to see how such a small cost could be doing something as severe as costing young Americans their financial futures, but it is. So it’s time to learn How Money Works, to find out why you really need to start taking stories about fraud personally, even if you never think that you would be dumb enough to fall for these schemes yourself. #fraud #finance #business Edited By: Andrew Gonzales Music Courtesy of: Epidemic Sound Select Footage Courtesy of: Getty Images For sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.group All materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Just build more houses! Well we have been… New construction is approaching the highest rate it has been since the 2008 crash, and that's DESPITE record high construction costs that came about because of disrupted supply chains. The problem has been… if we were building the right KIND of housing. As costs rose and margins shrank, the only kind of property that remained profitable to build was LUXURY property… and now we have found ourselves in a strange situation… We might have too many houses. Now I know what you’re thinking, sounds great right? Wrong! Despite all of this new development, we are still short about 4 million homes by most estimates, and if developers can’t sell the “luxury” homes they have already built, it’s much less likely they will build the other homes we actually need.

Company culture is one of the biggest trends in corporate management. Small companies with as few as twenty employees are hiring culture managers whose full-time job is to promote a collaborative and positive work environment. These are full time employee that from a bottom-line business perspective do nothing but make the other nineteen employees more engaged with their work. According to a survey of job seekers and hiring managers conducted by Robert Half a workforce analytics firm, ninety one percent of managers said that a candidates fit with the organizational culture was more important than their skills and experience. Hilariously a PWC survey on company culture found that sixty nine percent of companies believed their culture gave them a competitive edge… presumably over the thirty one percent of companies that realized that an office doesn’t need a ping pong table and kombucha on tap to be a nice place to work. Managing corporate culture is expensive, corporate culture managers are earning an average salary package of one hundred and ten thousand dollars a year according to GlassDoor. Direct salary expenses also don’t capture the additional costs of running culture events, and the lost manhours in the name of team building. It’s a big investment and one that is not paying off. If corporate culture is starting to sound less like an annoying business buzzword and more like a horrifying trend that was only the first reason out of four. So, it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why corporate America has become obsessed with company culture. Follow to learn How Money Works.
