Steve Eisman Shares the Real Story Behind Predicting the 2008 Crash

In this episode of the Real Eisman Playbook, we're doing something a little different. In the past I've only interviewed guests, but today I'm going to be interviewed. For this endeavor I needed a real professional so I brought in Melissa Lee of CNBC. In this episode, we discuss the state of the market today, my early career, The Big Short (both the trade and the movie), and my current interests.    0:00:00 - Intro 0:02:15 - The State of the Market Today 0:17:15 - My Early Career 0:21:58 - The Big Short Trade & The Housing Market Collapse 0:51:30 - The Next Armageddon 0:53:49 - My Highest Conviction Trades 0:56:55 - My Thoughts on Podcasting   Connect with Steve Eisman and access all things The Eisman Playbook: 🌐 https:// linktr.ee/eismanplaybook → Follow on socials, watch episodes, and get the latest updates — all in one place.   Disclaimer: The financial opinions expressed are for information purposes only.
