  • Is the Stock Market Rigged? You May Have Heard About the 60 Minutes
    Is the Stock Market Rigged? You may have heard about the 60 Minutes interview with author Michael Lewis, a former Wall Street broker, author of "Liar's Poker" and "The Big Short," who has just come out with a new book entitled "Flash Boys." Lewis is an eloquent and astute critic of Wall Street's creative and predatory practices, and in his new book (and in the 60 Minutes interview) he offers evidence that the stock market is "rigged" by a cabal of high-frequency traders, abetted by stock exchanges and Wall Street firms. While it is true that certain parties may gain quicker access than others, some believe, the price discovery process (by allowing high frequency trading) is improved and, therefore, makes the process better for all. Regardless, for anyone practicing long-term investing, high frequency trading activities are essentially irrelevant Lewis exposed an advantage that certain traders receive by building high-speed fiber optic cable feeds directly into exchange computers that match buyers and sellers. Some actually have their trading computers located in the same room as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq servers. And some pay extra for access to more information on who wants to buy and sell. All of this is perfectly legal, but Lewis points out that it is also shady. Why should some buyers and sellers have millisecond advantages over others? The problem is that these firms are able to jump in ahead of you and me and buy stocks at lower intraday prices, and then, a few seconds later, sell to the highest bidder before you and I would even see that bid on our screen.

  • Mark׳S Blog: “Michael Lewis״
    Mark’s Blog: “Michael Lewis” I’m a big fan of Michael Lewis’ books. Liar’s Poker. Money Ball. The Big Short. He’s part reporter, part financial analyst, part social scientist and a great story teller. I’ve just finished a book he published a couple of years ago titled The Undoing Project. It chronicles the lives and work of two Israeli-American psychologists, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Kahneman won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002 based largely on work he did with Tversky years before. It’s worth noting that Tversky died in 1996 and the Nobel is not awarded posthumously, but he did win a MacArthur prize before passing away. The focus of much of their work was how we make decisions. Most of us view ourselves as relatively rational in that when we’re presented with the facts, we believe we can determine the right course of action to take based on the information we’re presented. Kahneman and Tversky’s research proved otherwise. Ultimately, we carry a bundle of biases that can distort our decision-making ability. Sometimes it is to avoid risk. Sometimes it is to affirm what we have already determined should be the desired outcome. Tversky said “People predict by making up stories.” Lewis said of Kahneman “To Danny the whole idea of proving that people weren’t rational felt a bit like proving that people didn’t have fur.” When asked if his and Tversky’s work fed into the new and growing field of artificial intelligence Kahneman remarked “We study natural stupidity instead of artificial intelligence.” Reading the stories of their relationship and their work I was struck by their ongoing lack of tact with each other and those they met.

  • The Big Short Author: Michael Lewis Extract
    The Big Short Author: Michael Lewis Extract Prologue Poltergeist The willingness of a Wall Street investment bank to pay me hundreds of thousands of dollars to dispense investment advice to grown-ups remains a mystery to me to this day. I was twenty-four years old, with no experience of, or particular interest in, guessing which stocks and bonds would rise and which would fall. Wall Street's essential function was to allocate capital: to decide who should get it and who should not. Believe me when I tell you that I hadn't the first clue. I'd never taken an accounting course, never run a business, never even had savings of my own to manage. I'd stumbled into a job at Salomon Brothers in 1985, and stumbled out, richer, in 1988, and even though I wrote a book about the experience, the whole thing still strikes me as totally preposterous - which is one reason the money was so easy to walk away from. I figured the situation was unsustainable. Sooner rather than later, someone was going to identify me, along with a lot of people more or less like me, as a fraud. Sooner rather than later would come a Great Reckoning, when Wall Street would wake up and hundreds, if not thousands, of young people like me, who had no business making huge bets with other people's money or persuading other people to make those bets, would be expelled from finance. When I sat down to write my account of the experience - Liar's Poker, it was called - it was in the spirit of a young man who thought he was getting out while the getting was good.

  • The Big Short Is the Movie of the Year?
    January 2016 The Big Short is the Movie of the Year? What this sleeper movie may teach us about employer responsibility to the 401k plans they sponsor? Happy New Year! Thanks for Terry Morgan, AIF and being one of over 4000 CFO's, President - Ok401k HR Directors, CPA's and employers that read our monthly newsletter aimed at decision makers that supervise their retirement plan for the many participants and beneficiaries that rely upon them to make the right decisions on their retirement money. The movie of the year is obviously Star Wars. Even before the movie came out last week, it sold more pre sold tickets than the actual opening night of previous box office gazzilionaire, Jurassic Park. But, I have decided to give the runner up silver medal to the folks who made The Big Short (released on Wednesday, December 23.) I like to read and I loved the book way back in 2011 when the Big Short hit the book stores. The actors selected are hilarious and I could not think of a better cast that is attempting to make a rather complicated subject (mortgages and Wall Street) and break it down into terms even the average middle American can understand. The Big Short starring Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Michael Lewis wrote best sellers such as Money Gosling and Brad Pitt may Ball and the Blind Side. really surprise you. Like Star Now his recent best seller Wars I have not seen it yet but the Big Short has been I am sure it's going to be a made into a movie Christmas treat.

THE NEXT “BIG SHORT”: COVID-19, STUDENT LOAN DISCHARGE IN BANKRUPTCY, AND THE SLABS MARKET Samantha L. Bailey & Christopher J. Ryan, Jr.* ABSTRACT Even before the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, student loan debt— totaling over $1.64 trillion—was a cause for concern, as it is the second largest source of consumer debt in the United States, trailing only mortgage debt. And like collateralized mortgage debt, there is a market for collateral- ized student debt. Student loan asset-backed securities (SLABS) are the securitized form of student loan debt, repackaged as a marketable financial instrument. As with any investment vehicle, asset-backed securities like SLABS come with risk, particularly when borrowers default on their loans or have their debt discharged through bankruptcy proceedings.
