    The Pyramid Schemes That Broke a Nation - 1.2 BILLION GONE -Half of Albania Invested, then the State Fell.

    In the autumn of 1996, Albanian farmers walked their livestock down dusty roads into Tirana and sold every animal they owned . The cash went straight to the companies — the ones on state television, the ones ministers had publicly endorsed, the ones promising returns that would double your money in two months. Half the country's population had money inside these schemes. Then, on a single November day, the first one stopped paying. What followed was not just a financial collapse — it was the disintegration of a state. Around two thousand people died over an argument about interest rates. 🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SLEEPY STOCK MARKET Fall asleep to the greatest stories in financial history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #AlbaniaPyramidScheme #FinancialHistory #PyramidScheme #EconomicHistory #Albania1997 #FinancialCrisis #MarketHistory #BankingHistory #PonziScheme #DarkSideOfTheMarkets 📖 CHAPTERS 0:00 The Smell of Tirana 1:33 A Country Sealed Shut 5:32 The Boom Years 9:55 The Informal Market 12:45 The Companies Behind the Curtain 25:07 Rates Beyond All Reason 37:05 The State Collapses 45:02 Guns, Ships & Foreign Soldiers 53:53 What Was Lost, What Remained

    The $400 Bet That Made $350 Million and a Movie - Richard Dennis

    In 1984, Richard Dennis walked into a private dining room in Chicago worth up to $350 million — every cent built from a $400 stake. He had placed an ad in the Wall Street Journal, screened a thousand applicants, and invited thirteen strangers, including a security guard, a game designer, and a teenager with no job history, to learn his trading system in two weeks. He then handed them his own money. Not to get rich. To win an argument. He won the argument. Then the market came for him anyway. The Eddie Murphy film 'Trading Places' was based on his life 🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.

    The Man Who Called Lehman's Collapse - Einhorn - He still lost money

    On May 21, 2008, a boyish thirty-nine-year-old stepped to a podium in a Manhattan hotel ballroom and told the room that Lehman Brothers — one hundred and fifty-eight years old, one of the most powerful banks on earth — was lying about its own balance sheet. He had a spreadsheet. He had a calm voice. Seventeen weeks later, Lehman filed the largest bankruptcy in American history. He had been right about everything. His fund still finished the year down twenty-three percent. Being right, it turns out, is only the beginning of the problem. 🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.

    One Million Dollars. Eighty Million Back. The Big Short Pub Trade - Jamie Mai

    On August 6, 2007, a man named Ben Hockett sat alone at a wooden table in a Wetherspoons pub on the Devon coast, his family somewhere outside in the English summer, his laptop open, his phone pressed to his ear. He was trying to sell $205 million of insurance against the collapse of the American mortgage market — before the bank on the other side of his contracts ceased to exist. The insurance had cost his fund roughly one million dollars. By the end of that day, it sold for roughly eighty million. Three people worked at that fund. This is their story. 🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.#JamieMai #CornwallCapital #TheBigShort #FinancialHistory #HedgeFund #2008FinancialCrisis #WallStreet #SubprimeMortgage #CreditDefaultSwaps #InvestingHistory

    How the Asian Tiger Broke - $100 Billion Gone

    On July 2, 1997, officials inside the Bank of Thailand made a quiet administrative decision that erased half the value of their currency — and triggered the largest emerging-market collapse since World War Two. Five countries. Hundreds of millions of people. A hundred billion dollars in reversed capital flows. Behind it all: a fixed exchange rate defended in secret, a property market full of empty condominiums, and a system of hidden promises that nobody in the government even knew existed. One developer ended up selling tuna sandwiches under a hospital escalator. The miracle had an expiry date nobody saw. 🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SLEEPY STOCK MARKET Fall asleep to the greatest stories in financial history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #AsianFinancialCrisis #1997Crisis #FinancialHistory #KimDaeJung #Suharto #MahathirMohamad #EmergingMarkets #EconomicHistory #MarketHistory #CurrencyCrisis

    How Math Broke Las Vegas and Wall Street - Edward Thorp

    In 1959, a mathematician at MIT sat down at an IBM mainframe and ran thirty-four million simulated hands of blackjack. He proved the house could be beaten — then walked into Las Vegas and did it. But the casinos were only the warm-up. For nearly twenty years, Edward Thorp ran a hedge fund that never had a single losing quarter: through the 1973 crash, through Black Monday, through interest rate chaos. No down quarter. Not one. Then federal agents walked through the door.🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.

    Joel Greenblatt - The Investor Who Gave the Secret Away

    In 1985, a 27-year-old from Long Island walked into the most powerful financial office in America with no track record, no fund, and seven million dollars worth of nerve. He built a portfolio of six to eight stocks at a time, ignored everything Wall Street found exciting, and compounded money at fifty percent a year for a decade. Then he gave the whole method away for free. Two years of his students quietly laughing at his old-fashioned criteria. Then the Nasdaq collapsed. He made one hundred and fourteen percent in a single year. Patience paid. Every time.🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.

    John Templeton: The World's Greatest Bargain Hunter

    November 1939. Europe is burning, Wall Street is terrified, and every serious investor is moving into cash. A 26-year-old broker from a Tennessee town of two thousand people walks into his boss's office and asks to borrow ten thousand dollars — to buy over a hundred stocks, including dozens already in formal bankruptcy. No exceptions. No filters. He had spent years building the idea that the best moment to buy was when everyone else was too afraid to. He was about to find out if he was right. The ten thousand dollars became forty thousand. That was just the beginning. 🎧 Part of the Sleepy Stock Market series — financial history told as documentary audio.SLEEPY STOCK MARKETFall asleep to the greatest stories in financial history. #JohnTempleton #ValueInvesting #FinancialHistory #ContrarianInvesting #StockMarket #InvestingStrategy #WallStreetHistory #Templeton #GlobalInvesting #LongTermInvesting
