Gordon used Shia's character to get his money back. Shia's character was loyal to that guy who got him in the game. Guy who got him in the game was ruined by the motorcycle guy. Motorcycle guy was ruined by Shia's character. Shia lost it all, not seeing what everyone else around him saw. He ends up getting back in the game at the end.

It's a good movie to watch if you're interested in economics. Consider it a kick-start.

Movie was terrible (except for the entertaining round table between banks) and I'm a big fan of the first movie. It was a corny love story and was extremely anti-climactic.

Yup.

I liked it a lot as well and it gives a lot of light to how bad the financial markets actually got hit in 2008. Not saying that it is entirely realistic but its a movie nonetheless. The first one was light years better because of its anti-climatic ending that sort of leaves you hanging. This one everyone is happy in the end save from Bretton James.

I would recommend watching Inside Job and then Googling what going short means in the stock world.

It was also fun trying to figure and company out who each character was supposed to be from real life events.  I think they did a good job trying to fictionalize the FED and the Lehman collapse while showing the S&L bailouts from the 80's.
