Default great film - an all time trading classic

this was the film that first got me interested in trading as a kid! An oldie, but a must see!

Love the part towards the end where the guys are in the Orange Juice pit, total mayhem as everyone is selling after the crop report, Dan Ackroyd shouts "Buying!" and every single person in the pit screams "SOLD!"

Default Murphy at his best

I've seen this over and over. Eddie Murphy is in his prime and film is both funny and insightful.

Now, where do I get hold of the that Orange Crop Report ?

Default My favorite Holiday film

Forget "It's a Wonderful Life" or Dickens' "Christmas Carol". Every year, after getting the kids' packages wrapped and the stockings hung by the chimney with care, I pour a scotch, sit back, and laugh my way through Trading Places. Not only is it classic Aykroyd/Murphy (and a very nubile young JLC), but a great intro to futures trading. What better way to celebrate the Holidays?

Default essential viweing

Love it. There is that scene with Al pacino as Vince Lombardi, about life being whatever is 6 inches infront of your face. That gets quoted alot on trading floors. So does:

"Sell, Mortimer, SELL!"
