Default Inside Job

Has anyone else seen this yet? It's an absolutely fantastic documentary about the worldwide economic collapse. I know many of us are tired of hearing about this, but this is easily the most comprehensive work I've seen on the subject, without the tired conjecture and partisan mud-slinging. Easily one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

i haven't seen it, but by the sounds of it, it solidifies my beliefs that we are being controlled thru our currency by central bankers.

I haven't seen it yet but I will make a point to do so, as I'm planning on starting a career as an investment banker.

Probably true, but who needs to live an intellectual life if you can get fifthly rich by exploiting others for personal gain?

Believe it or not, you have to be relatively smart to exploit people and get away with it.

Not really what the movie is about. More to do with how deregulation eventually led to the collapse and how nothing is being done to prevent it from happening again.

as a CFA I can guarantee, with an attitude like that, you are not going to make it as an i-banker.

Hey congrats on getting your designation, I'm writing level 1 in two weeks.

So you're saying no tongue-in-cheek comments during my first interview?
