In this insightful clip from MM, Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings sit down with Steve Eisman, the legendary investor who famously predicted the 2008 financial crisis and was portrayed in "The Big Short." Eisman shares his expert perspective on the current state of the economy, evaluating whether today’s risks parallel those of 2008 and how concerned investors should be about a potential recession or greater financial calamity.

Eisman breaks down the key differences between the dangerous leverage and complex derivatives networks that drove the 2008 crisis and the more robust, regulated landscape today. He explains why he doesn’t see the same level of systemic risk in the global economy, addresses the impacts of trade wars, and discusses the reduced leverage of major banks post-Dodd-Frank.

The conversation spans critical topics, including:

• Could a trade war trigger a recession?
• Is today’s economic environment as risky as 2008?
• Why Steve Eisman remains long-term bullish on leading technology stocks like Nvidia and Microsoft, especially in the very early days of AI development.
• How Eisman is managing personal portfolio risk right now and why he’s keeping a higher cash position.
• The future of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency and why “doom and gloom” predictions about its demise might be overblown.

If you want a behind-the-scenes look at how one of Wall Street’s sharpest minds assesses today’s market risks and opportunities, this clip is for you. Don’t miss Eisman’s candid advice: focus on long-term value, avoid panic, and be cautious about risk during uncertain global negotiations.
