You have to offer the banks a lot of capital for that kind of a short position.

You won't be happy. Trust me, working out its all a load of shit. It's not happiness. Focusing so hard on making the deal of a lifetime isn't either. It's devotion that takes it out of you. You want happiness. Simplicity and focusing on the things that matter, like family and friends. Wealth may make things easier and when things are easier it makes you happy but total devotion won't bring you happiness.

I wish i could have an attention spam long enough to read a full book. I cant even read the instructions on my adult diapers box. I just put the diaper on the floor and shit in them lmao bc i cant figure out how to wrap them correctly. At least its good for my maid bc im pretty sure she gets turned on by that since she always makes the same face that girls in porn movies do when they enjoy something hhahabha

Bad timing. The crisis was extended by bank fraudulence that they clearly describe in the movie lol. And he had to close his positions a little early or risk bank insolvency meaning he’d get nothing at all. Burry still did the best, FrontPoint 2nd best, and the two guys in their garage who were just tailing along predictably went 2.5x since their positions were poorly done

Burry basically 1 lucky trade. Other than that, he really isnt a great investor.

Look at his portfolio prior to this whole mess--he invested in the shittiest retailers like Gamestop. Now hes raging on twitter about the coronavirus response instead of admitting he onwed shitty companies.

Learn a skill you pathetic loser. Don't ask people on a chinese basketweaving forum to spoonfeed you basic informations. Do your own research you spineless buffoon. With a brain like yours no amount of money will be well spent.

He had a great decade and made his name during the dot com run up and bust. He isn’t bad just overrated thanks to the movie, he wasn’t long on GME just reasoned they were way over shorted and due for a big squeeze.

you need money to make money. Or start a hedge fund and use opm. Go autistic on the eurodollar/us dollar issue.
Or you could buy and rent out or flip houses
