Margin Call
A thriller that revolves around the key people at a investment bank over a 24-hour period during the early stages of the financial crisis. Junior employees Seth Bregman and Peter Sullivan and senior trader Will Emerson watch as a human resources team conducts mass layoffs on their trading floor. One of the fired employees is Eric Dale, who works in risk management. Before leaving, Dale gives Peter a USB drive with a project he had been working on, telling him to ”be careful.” That night, Peter finishes the project, and discovers that trading will soon exceed the historical volatility levels used by the firm to calculate risk. Because of overleverage, if the firm’s assets (in mortgage backed securities) decrease by 25%, the firm will owe more than its market capitalization. Sullivan alerts Emerson, who calls head of trading Sam Rogers.
