2 things:

1 - The firm in the movie wasn't purely a trading firm. They were the originators of the MBS, and that's how they made money, there would be no MBS without them. In fact that's a core reason why they took too much risk and had to liquidate. It's a key plot point!

2 - Even pure traders are not zero sum. There is value in providing liquidity and in making the market more efficient.

You still haven't answered him. What the hell is a dugar? I too am Indian and I have never heard that word in my life. Also, what language is it from? Do you know India has many languages? There is no such thing as "their language".

Btw, seeing how stupid you are, I can understand how your folks fall for scamsters so easily. Don't hate the player. Hate the game kid.

Cool story, nothing you said is even remotely relevant to my post, which is the fire sale itself that Kevin spacey had so much trouble with was not morally wrong.

There is nothing "messed up" about trading, just like there's nothing wrong with poker. Otherwise why the fuck are you here? What they did is no different from what all of wsb does.

>There is definitely some risk involved in buying natural gas at these low prices, but if you believe that the market will eventually rebound then it could be a smart investment. However, you need to be aware of the potential downside before making any decisions.

It sounds like you're completely and deliberately missing the point. The greed, shortsightedness, and ruthlessness on Wall Street are 100% morally wrong. They cost American taxpayers trillions and are representative of how the wealthy wield disproportionate power in this country.

All of the things I pointed to, from the movie, in my comment above are criticisms of that. The whole movie worked to criticize Wall Street. It's like you're insisting that someone who wins at poker isn't doing anything wrong, and I'm trying to explain to you that the whole point is that the game is messed up and all the players in it are greedily trying to screw each other over, while costing the audience their money and livelihoods.
