Margin Call
November 11, 2011
Margin Call – Outstanding cast, outstanding acting. It’s about an investment bank selling mortgage backed securities. I don’t pretend to understand completely how margin calls work and it appears these dudes didn’t either. They just know they’re making buckets of money.
