I saw the Big Short last night and really enjoyed it. I thought it was very cool how they used cut scenes to explain the housing market crash in layman's terms.
I think most of us on RVF can agree that a social bubble is going burst within our country during the next year or two. Just like Michael Burry in the Big Short, we KNOW shit is going to go down - there is simply no quick and easy fix for the insanely unstable conditions created by political correctness. It's going get ugly.
What types of securities could you long/short to bet against some of these things?
-Higher Education
-Gay/Female equality/superiority
-White people getting blamed for everything
-The value of "Likes" and internet fame to the average joe/jane
-Young women holding out on starting a family to pursue status and money
-Technology (in terms of making people really, really fucking stupid and dependent on google)
-Valuing cushy office/marketing jobs over skilled, blue collared workers
