A Humorous look at the Sub Prime Crisis

By Tejvan Pettinger on January 8, 2008 in comedy

“The thing to remember is that these markets are run by very clever and sophisticated people…”

“It has some good words in it, like high.”

“Yes, high is a good word, better than low anyway.”

Very sharp commentary on the sub prime crisis. The scary thing is that there is very little exaggeration at all!

Thanks to Financial Rounds for this clip

It’s nice to see some making the subprime mortgage crisis funny…Adjustible Rate Mortgages + Ignorant Greedy Investors = Downturn for all.
