### Comment:
Doubly stupid that this movie really has nothing to do with a margin call. It's like 'hey we don't know what to call this movie, let's pick some random trading term.'

### REPLY:
I wouldn't say it has nothing to do with it. It wasn't a margin call  only because the Company's creditors were too stupid to realize that the Company's portfolio was actually worth less than the debt, which *should* have triggered a margin call. What they did in the movie was like a preemptive margin call.
