Fast Bucks: How Porsche Made Billions (DVD)

Fast Bucks: How Porsche Made Billions (DVD) is a video documentary detailing how Porsche achieved its place of near-dominance by entering the financial markets and practicing controversial trading methods. For long, Porsche, the German automaker has desired to be dominant over Volkswagen but failed. Volkswagen is a company rich in research, innovation and production capabilities. By entering the financial markets and practicing controversial trading methods, Porsche in 2008 announced it had taken a majority position in Volkswagen shares. But the only limit that stood in its way is Germany’s VW Law.
Fast Bucks: How Porsche Made Billions shows how Porsche used financial instruments known as cash-settled call options to make Fast and Big Bucks with the intention of taking over Volkswagen. Porsche accumulated secret holdings over a period of years, only to be obstructed by an ambiguous legal roadblock—Germany’s VW Law. This law has historically protected Volkswagen from being completely taken over. Fast Bucks: How Porsche Made Billions is a production of Open University and is a 29 minutes duration video.
