Risking It All: Bankers (Enhanced DVD)
Product Description:
Stock market crashes since the turn of the 21st century evidence that major financial institutions have taken exceptional risks in securities trading. While scenarios such as this have led to significant reform both in the United Kingdom and abroad, the persistence of rogue behavior by big banks and financial institutions continues.
While risk is a considerable growth factor, recklessness exhibited in investor behavior, and in the volatility of the market can be exacerbated by the fast paced trading movements of options and futures pricing causing premature contract “buy”” and “sell” activity.
Independent investors are also taking advice from financial sector leaders; mirroring the actions taken by institutional traders publicized in the news. For instance, the proliferation of binary options trading of derivatives on the OTC (over-the-counter) on the U.S. securities exchange, has created the conditions for accelerated “call” and “put” of trades offering higher than average risk exposure.
The program charts the 30 year history of the turbulent fluctuations of the global financial markets, and suggests that the transformation of risk into a highly predictable scheme for profit can be best managed by way of the mathematical modeling used in the programming of exchange algorithms. While the verdict is still out, the jury is that market trading risk cannot be wholly evaluated by a single method.
The film includes interviews with former JP Morgan Chase executive, Bill Winters, financial sector regulator, Martin Wheatley, and Nobel laureate, Daniel Kahneman, about the future of investment risk as market factor, and underlying value of derivative securities products.
