Other traders were curious why Scion Capital, Burry\u2019s fund, had taken such a dramatic short position against mortgage securities and why Goldman Sachs, in particular, had been so eager to <em>sell <\/em>him the credit default swaps. <strong>What did he know that everyone else didn\u2019t?<\/strong> Greg Lippmann, the head subprime mortgage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/bond-trader\/\">bond trader<\/a> at Deutsche Bank, wanted in on the action.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greg Lippmann was a bond trader with a reputation for being bombastic, crass, and nakedly self-interested. He was known for humble-bragging about how much money he made from his annual bonuses and loudly complaining that he wasn\u2019t being paid <em>enough<\/em>. Even within the money-obsessed culture of Wall Street, this was beyond-the-pale behavior. <strong>Everybody was greedy, but you weren\u2019t supposed to be so <\/strong><strong><em>transparently <\/em><\/strong><strong>greedy.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although his nominal employer was Deutsche Bank, everyone who met Greg Lippmann saw that he had zero loyalty to the bank or its leadership\u2014he was in it purely for himself. This was also something he refused to disguise about himself, openly remarking, <strong>\u201cI don\u2019t have any particular allegiance to Deutsche Bank, I just work here.\u201d<\/strong> But his own comically obvious self-interest also made him a keen observer of everyone <em>else\u2019s <\/em>selfishness and greed. He saw through the phoniness of Wall Street decorum and noticed that everyone was exactly like him.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Greg Lippmann&#8217;s Big Short Proposal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In early 2006, Greg Lippmann went to Steve Eisman\u2019s office with a proposal to bet against the subprime mortgage market. (Lippmann didn&#8217;t have the funds to execute the scheme on his own.) Of course, he had simply copied Dr. Michael Burry\u2019s idea, but he presented it to Eisman as his own original strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greg Lippmann told Eisman that <strong>the underlying loans in the bonds would start to go bad even if housing prices <em>didn\u2019t <\/em>fall\u2014all they needed to do was <em>stop rising<\/em>. <\/strong>Borrowers would be unable to refinance using their homes as collateral, which would, in turn, trigger a wave of defaults. Lippmann noted that <strong>first-year defaults were already up from one percent to four percent. <\/strong>When the low teaser rates expired, that number would shoot up even more. Indeed, by the end of 2005,<strong> Lippmann himself had taken a $1 billion big short position <em>against <\/em>the subprime <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/mortgage-bond-market\/\">mortgage bond market<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also showed Eisman the powerful compelling logic behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/credit-default-swap-example\/\">credit default swap<\/a> bet. You wouldn\u2019t have to pay premium costs for long\u2014most of these nominally 30-year mortgages were really designed to be refinanced and paid off within six years. 30 years became six when low-income Americans couldn\u2019t afford their mortgages after the teaser rate ended and they were forced to refinance. Because the ability to refinance depends on the home\u2019s value, ever-rising home prices meant homeowners would always be able to refinance and borrow more money. If you purchased swaps on $100 million in subprime bonds, your maximum losses would only be the fixed annual premium costs of $2 million per year\u2014$12 million total for six years. But if the default rate rose from 4 to 8 percent,<strong> you stood to reap the full face value of the original bond\u2014$100 million.&nbsp;<\/strong>This was how the big short bet would pay off.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, despite his skepticism, Eisman did the trade with Greg Lippmann. The logic was sound. Premiums on even the worst subprime bonds were less than two percent of the face value of the referenced bond per year. This was a minor cost compared to what he would earn when the subprime market imploded, which was a certainty. It was spending $2 million to make $100 million. How could he <em>not <\/em>seize this opportunity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, Greg Lippmann&#8217;s &#8220;Big Short&#8221; scheme had other partners. They all made millions (Eisman reportedly made billions) when the housing bubble collapsed in 2007 and 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Greg Lippmann of The Big Short fame?
