‘The Big Short’ Investor Bets $1.6 Billion on Stock Market Crash

Someone always has the other side of the bet. Not much press about who took the equal long position.

Not true. The 2007 crash was a result of liquidity drying up overnight, due to collateral being marked down, and margin calls went out. There were too few players to cover it all. Thats what happens when you concentrate entire business sectors into a handful of big players.
 

The Feds distort the markets as a favor to Wall Street; limiting short sales protects insiders and screws the unwashed masses on the outside by keeping prices artificially high long enough for insiders to bail or adjust. It's a free running stop loss. Then if the prices fall low enough they suspend trading altogether, another free bennie. Of course the biggest welfare bennie is the limited liability scam for corporations that protects insiders' personal wealth when they bankrupt companies. Prices of stocks would a lot more stable and realistic if corporate owners were held liable for their management of companies. If shareholders want the payoffs for ownership then they can also own the debts and losses.

Wht isn't true? You don't really know, as usual. You want to claim financial market liquidity is always there, go ahead, we need some more laughs. You aren't even arguing on the same subject I was addressing with another poster, moron.

You think liquidity or lack of liquidity means there is no counterparty for an option trade?

That's hilarious!
