Rise and Fall of Lehman Brothers | FD Finance

In September 2008, the collapse of Lehman Brothers was the biggest bankruptcy in history that sent shockwaves throughout the global financial market. Inside The Storm: Lessons from the Boardroom tells the story of what went wrong within America’s oldest investment bank and how it devastated even the common people living in Asia.

Big businesses rise and fall every day. This documentary series follows the lifecycle of four of the biggest industry players, and reveals intimate details on how these companies were run. Supplemented by interviews from industry players and professionals from around the world, this series tells the story of how these titans of business did not heed the warning bells, and fell from their ivory towers.

Eastman Kodak, the camera and film manufacturer that made photography available for common man, Kingfisher Airlines, the progeny of billionaire liquor baron Vijay Mallya, Barings Bank, hailed as Britain’s oldest merchant bank and the Queen’s bank, and Lehman Brothers, an investment bank that survived two World Wars and the Great Depression.

Wall Street pitched so-called quality stocks with high profitability and low debt, as a kind of insurance against whatever the economy might throw at you. Quality stocks have underperformed the S&P500 this year, My $200k portfolio is down by approximately 20 %, any recommendations to scale up my returns on investment

Real Talk... It took me about 10 yrs to bounce back from this crisis. Thanks Lehman Brothers !!!

It was a very bad decision to remove the Glass-Steagall Act in the late 1990s, which led to the spectacular failure of huge banks during the financial crisis of 2007–2008. To prevent another disaster, Dodd-Frank and this statute both need to be reestablished right away. What happened with these banks is only the beginning of what will happen if nothing is done to address the current situation.

"...aaaannd it's gone!"

Yet he still got all his money. What a joke that none of them went to prison. Again, shows you if you donate enough money to BOTH parties, you’re protected.

I was a homeowner during That time, i couldn't figure out how the housing market was booming during a recession.
It turned out to be a house of cards

These companies never should have had the ability to make so much risk that the entire global financial system was put into danger. Rich CEOs get to play at this game and it's the average person who loses their home, their job, their savings.

This video didn’t explain why Lehman had that much debt. It was because they sold insurance on those sub prime mortgage bonds. They basically took a long position on housing.

It is a superb video giving viewers a throwback to the what triggered the 2008 financial crash. Hedge fund investors were piling an astronomical amount of money into investment banks' bubbles which culminated in 2008.

The banks weren't making money. They were just taking it from pension funds and other investors, via fees. They were also taking it from borrowers in the form of higher rates. The banks didn't actually create value in the economy, they are a net negative. A company that takes raw materials, and manufacturers equipment which is used in construction, adds value to the economy. The bank which charges fees saps value.

The corporate guys didn’t care about the common man. The same is still going on, even congressional leaders don’t care

In 2008, the CFO of the company I worked for gave a presentation at a quarterly employee meeting. He said the economy was bad in 2008 and would be worse in 2009. Based on that, I sold off riskier investments. In the years I worked for this company, the CEOs were very accurate with their economic projections.

[truthkeeperfilms]

The executives didn’t lose money. The people did. People lost money, cars, homes, and ultimately lives and banks didn’t care. Thank God that He will judge and won’t let them get away.

Actually, the deflation of realty assets caused the crisis. Every bank had to record unrealized losses that made them less and less liquid. Everyone thought mortgages must be safe because it’s the bedrock of the so-called American Dream, but they started making derivatives based on this idea without looking at the default numbers. Lehmann just became the sacrificial lamb because it was so badly leveraged, but if not them then it wouldve been Meryll Lynch or Citibank and the contagion effect would’ve been more or less the same. No players messed up in 2008, the game itself was rotten…

Oh Fulds, the man who showed no remorse at his congressional hearing.

No banka should have been bailed out. The bailouts should have gone to small businesses and individuals affected by their greed. All the c suite and senior execs involved should have been locked up for life. Instead, we simply kicked the credit ball down the road and now sit on the edge of another collapse.

Imagine if you had shorted Lehman Brothers.

In the good time, you can ask a dog to invest your money and you will still make a profit

Great documentary! I lived though it myself!
