    Inside the Meltdown

    The stock of a global investment company, Bear Stearns, began to drop drastically on March 10th, 2008. A share of Bear Stearns was as high as $171 and by the afternoon dropped to $57. Former CEO of the company, Ace Greenberg, tells CNBC that all of these rumors are “ridiculous.” As time goes on, Bear Stearns’ cash reserves were disappearing and people invested in the company were immediately withdrawing. Bear Stearns was basically racing to find a company to buy them out or they would go under. Current CEO of Bear Stearns, Alan Schwartz, got ahold of JP Morgan’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, to buy out Bear. A ton of government officials come to Bear to look over their records and it is not a pretty sight. Bear was deep in toxic assets. The Federal Reserve was prohibited from lending any money to Bear so they used JP Morgan to bail out Bear Stearns. Unfortunately the company could not be saved and Bear Stearns was gone after being sold to JP Morgan at $2 per share.…

    The Big Short Analysis

    • 431 Words
    • 2 Pages

    To keep the stress away, he listens to hard rock and always takes his drumsticks with him to the office where he remains comfortably in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. Mr. Carell’s Mark Baum is a respected hedge-fund manager who’s not afraid to tell what he thinks, often showing indignity about how the market works; he’s a man of principles and keeps struggling hard with the suicide of his brother. Jared Vennet, an elegant trader for Deutsche Bank, was the one who informed Baum and his team about what was coming, urging them to investigate and take their own conclusions. Pitt’s Ben Rickert, wearing a beard and eyeglasses, is considerably more discreet than the rest of the bright visionaries. Less exuberant than “The Wolf of Wall Street”, funnier than “Margin Call”, and equally striking as “99 Homes”, the intrepid and almost impolite “The Big Short”, flowing at a commendable pace, is only short in its title since both message and presentation are big and explanatory enough to elucidate and…

    Occupy Wallstreet

    • 2182 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Some people say that the Occupy Wall Street movement mirrored the unrest and protest that defined an entire generation in the 60s and 70s. While the flower child movement of thirty years ago dealt primarily with the invasion of Vietnam and a war not supported by the American people, the Occupy movement was centered on economic inequality in the number one superpower in the world, the United States. Protestors participating in the Occupy Wall Street movement relate mostly to moral law. That is to say that the roots of their arguments centered around the good of the majority, rather than the good of the rich which is what seemed to be the main concern of those running the country at the time. The rampant income inequality across the board in America was the main focal point of the Occupy movement, and wealth distribution came under scrutiny as protestors brought it to the forefront of local and national media. Many believed that there would be no end to the movement given the American capitalistic society, and that sentiment has been supported by the movement spreading to other influential American cities like Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.…
