Creazione lezione...
1
- - Thank you.
2
Thank you.
3
Thank you.
4
Please, sit down.
5
Thank you.
6
Welcome, everyone.
7
I must apologize for dragging you all here to such an uncommon hour.
8
But from what I've been told, this matter needs to be dealt with urgently.
9
So urgently, in fact, probably should have been dressed weeks ago.
10
That is spilt milk under the bridge. So.
11
Why doesn't somebody tell me what they think is going on here?
12
Mr. Told, as I mentioned earlier, If you compare the figure at the top of page 13...
13
-Jerry, it's a little early for all that.
14
Just speak to me in plain English.
15
Okay.
16
In fact, I'd like to speak to the guy who put this together.
17
Mr. Sullivan, is it?
18
Does he speak English?
19
Sir?
20
I'd like to speak with the analyst who seems to stumble across this mess.
21
Certainly.
22
That would be Peter Sullivan, right here.
23
Oh, Mr. Sullivan, you're here.
24
Good morning.
25
Maybe you could tell me what you think is going on here.
26
And please, speak as you might to a young child.
27
or a golden retriever.
28
It wasn't brains that got me here, I'm sure you of that.
29
Well-- Sir, as you may or may not know,
30
I work here for Mr. Rogers as an associate in the Risk Assessment and Management Office at MBS.
31
Please.
32
Just relax, stand up, tell us the clear voice.
33
What is the nature of the problem?
34
Thank you.
35
OK.
36
Well, as you probably know, over the last 36 to 40 months,
37
the firm has begun packaging new MBS products that Combine several different tranches of rating classification in one, tradable security.
38
uh, This has been enormously profitable, as I imagine.
39
You noticed?
40
I have.
41
Well, the firm is currently doing a considerable amount of this business every day.
42
Now the problem which is, I guess, why we are here tonight is that it takes us, the firm, About a month.
43
to layer these products correctly, thereby posing a challenge from a risk management standpoint.
44
And so that challenge is, well, we have to hold these assets on our books longer than we might ideally like to.
45
Yes.
46
But the key factor here is these are essentially just mortgages, so that has allowed us to push the leverage considerably beyond what you might be willing or allowed to do
47
in any other circumstance, thereby pushing the risk profile without raising any red flags.
48
- Now, thank you, Mr. Anderson.
49
Sit down.
50
What I'm guessing your report here says...
51
Give me some rope here.
52
What I'm guessing it says is that Considering the, shall we say, bumpy road we've been on the last week or so,
53
that the figures your brilliant co -workers up the line ahead of you have come up with don't make much sense anymore.
54
considering what's taking place today.
55
Actually not what's taking place today, but what's already taken place over the last two weeks.
56
So you're saying, This has already happened.
57
Sort of.
58
Thank you.
59
And Mr. Sullivan, what does your model say that that means?
60
for us here.
61
Well, that's where it becomes a projection. But, um...
62
You're speaking with me, Mr. Sullivan.
63
Well, sir, if those assets decrease by just 25 % and remain on our books.
64
that loss would be greater than the current market capitalization of this entire company.
65
Thank you.
66
Thank you.
67
So, what you're telling me...
68
is that The music is about to stop.
69
And we're going to be left holding the biggest bag of odorous excrement.
70
ever assembled in the history of...
71
capitalism.
72
Sir, I'm not sure that I would-- put it that way, but let me clarify Using your analogy, What this model shows?
73
is the music, so to speak, Just slowing.
74
Thank you.
75
If the music were to stop, as you put it, then this model wouldn't be even close.
76
to that scenario, it would be considerably worse.
77
Let me tell you something, Mr. Sullivan.
78
- Do you care to know why I'm in this chair with you all.
79
I mean, why I earn the big bucks.
80
Yes.
81
I'm here for one reason and one reason alone.
82
I'm here to guess what the music might do a week, a month.
83
a year from now.
84
That's it.
85
Nothing more.
86
Thank you.
87
I'm standing here tonight I'm afraid that I don't...
88
here A...
89
thing.
90
Just...
91
Silence.
92
- Thanks.
93
Thank you.
94
So, Now that we know the music has stopped, what can we do about it?
95
Mr. Cole.
96
Ms. Robertson.
97
I'm afraid I think this is where you're supposed to step back in.
98
Lord knows we've relied enough on Mr. Sullivan tonight.
99
What do you have for us?
100
Thank you.
101
What have I told you since the first day you stepped into my office?
102
There are three ways to make a living in this business. Be first.
103
Bismarra. or cheat.
104
Now, I don't cheat.
105
Thank you.
106
And although I like to think we have some pretty smart people in this building, It sure is a hell of a lot easier to just be first.
107
sell it all today.
108
Is that even possible, Sam?
109
Yes, but at what cost?
110
I'll have to pay.
111
Really?
112
I think so.
113
Where is this gonna come back to us?
114
everywhere.
115
Sam, I don't think you seem to understand what your boy here has just said.
116
If I made you, How would you do this?
117
Thank you.
118
Thank you.
119
- Uh.
120
- Thank you.
121
Well, you call the traders in for the normal 6 :30 meeting, and you be honest with them, because they're going to know it's the end either way.
122
So you're going to have to throw him a bone and a pretty big one.
123
and then you've got to come out of the gate storming.
124
No swaps, no nothing.
125
40 % done by 10 :15.
126
By 11 o 'clock, all your trades have to be gone, because by lunchtime, word's going to be out.
127
and by 2 o 'clock you're gonna be selling at 65 cents on the dollar if you're lucky.
128
and then the feds are going to be in here up your ass trying to slow you down.
129
Ramesh.
130
They can slow you down.
131
I can't stop you.
132
It's yours to sell.
133
- Yeah, but John, even if we managed to pull that off and that's saying something.
134
The real question is, Who are we selling this to?
135
Same people we've been selling it to for the last two years, and whoever else will buy it.
136
But John, if you do this, you will kill the market for years.
137
It's over.
138
and you're selling something that you know has no value.
139
We are selling to willing buyers at the current fair market price.
140
so that we may survive.
141
You will never sell anything to any of those people ever again.
142
I understand. Do you? Do you?
143
This is it.
144
I'm telling you, this is it.
145
Okay.
146
Thank you.
147
Now it's four o 'clock.
148
Jared, you've got till five to break this down and draw me up a plan.
149
Is there anybody else who knows what's in here at the moment, block by block?
150
Eric Dale. And where is he?
151
As of today, he's no longer with the firm.
152
We have been trying to locate it.
153
Carmelo, get me Eric Dale here by 6 :30.
154
It's done.
155
We meet back here in an hour.
156
Sam, let's talk.
157
Thank you.
158
- I'm sorry.
159
Okay.
160
Thank you.

Consigli per la Pratica

Quando lavori su questo video, cerca di adottare un approccio di shadowspeak. Questo significa ascoltare attentamente la pronuncia e la intonazione degli attori, cercando di imitarli il più fedelmente possibile. La velocità del dialogo è relativamente sostenuta; quindi, non esitare a mettere in pausa il video ogni volta che ne hai bisogno. Fai attenzione alle espressioni facciali e al linguaggio del corpo, che possono offrirti indizi su come esprimere le emozioni nel tuo discorso.

Usa la tecnica dello shadow speech, ripetendo le frasi subito dopo averle ascoltate. Questo non solo aiuta a migliorare la pronuncia inglese, ma favorisce anche una migliore comprensione e fluent speaking. Ricorda di praticare regolarmente per affinare le tue abilità nella pratica di conversazione in inglese. Aggiungi questo esercizio alla tua routine di apprendimento quotidiana per imparare l'inglese con youtube efficacemente e divertendoti!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
