Best movies about financial crises/trading? I love watching this type of shit, and learning about stuff that's happened in the past. I know these things aren't exactly "educational", but googling shit while you watch them can be.

Fight Club. or just read Chuck Palahniuk. Also, buy what poor people feed off and will compound to XRB style gains, like FRM.

Already got my pandemic movie in last week, but I watched World War Z instead because that's the patrician choice.

this. soon the world will see central banks as nothing but a risk. once interest rates spike up because loans get down graded all over the world for all financial assets, governments will need to step in and print more money (wow surprise). be prepared for hyper inflation throughout most of the world.

guess what has happened with a 100% success rate over the last 5 years as countries like argentina, venezula, syria, etc experience mini-inflation episodes? the people flock to bitcoin. now imagine that but instead of a few dozen million people being affected, ramp it up to a few billion people being affected.
