It can only be said that it is a very ordinary movie, very funny, and I heard that it was recommended by Harvard Business School, but damn, I don’t have all kinds of knowledge about finance at all, but it was still possible about...

An 1980s futures comedy with variations on Mark Twain's "Million Pounds" and "The Prince and the Beggar". There are many exaggerated places, but it can be seen. Jamie Lee Curtis has a great...

The story of the rich gambling makes me think of desperate hunts. The fate of man cannot be played. And a person grows and lives in a different environment, there will be a different fate, I think it makes...

Wrong business war comedy, and Curtis' "welfare". How much influence does the environment have on people? Although this film only played a marginal ball, it left the thinking to the...

Futures magic! Was picked up by Amway after listening to the Planet Money episode. Well, in addition to learning financial knowledge (?), this is indeed a very good movie, and it is not out of date...

The racist remarks in the middle really surprised me, but the whole thing is good, and there are not too many loopholes in the...

American futures trading, the story is actually a bit of a sense of complexity and simplicity. It wants to show that money can manipulate many things, and it can make people go to the sky or go to the ground. But it is not absolute control, absolute monopoly, and sometimes it will be under...

Eddie's true performance, consistent style, the movie is a bit like a stage play, falling down for a dollar, acting too dramatic, 1983, a lot of abrupt...

Louis Winthorpe III: [after trading ends on FCOJ, he and Billy Ray are quickly finalizing up some last minute sales. Once they're finished, they both look up to see the cost at 29. They then look at one another and scream in celebration and hug. After they're finished, they see the Dukes looking at them] Happy New Year!
Randolph Duke: [He drops their now-worthless sales papers on the floor]
[hoarsely]
Randolph Duke: Winthorpe.
Mortimer Duke: [stunned] Valentine.
Billy Ray Valentine: Hey! How'd y'all make out today?
Mortimer Duke: How could you do this to us after everything we've done for you?
Billy Ray Valentine: Oh, see, I made Louis a bet here. See, Louis bet me that we couldn't both get rich and put y'all in the poor house at the same time. He didn't think we could do it. I won.
Louis Winthorpe III: [grinning] I lost.
[Pulls it out of his breast pocket and shows it]
Louis Winthorpe III: One dollar.
Billy Ray Valentine: [Accepting it] Thank you, Louis.
Louis Winthorpe III: After you.
Billy Ray Valentine: Certainly.
[They both leave with Billy Ray doing Eddie's "laugh" and Lewis giving the Dukes the Aykroyd "stare"]

Randolph Duke: Exactly why do you think the price of pork bellies is going to keep going down, William?
Billy Ray Valentine: Okay. Pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means that everybody's waiting for it to hit rock bottom so they can buy cheap and go long. Which means that the people who own the pork belly contracts are goin' bat-shit. They're saying, "Hey, we're losing all our goddamn money, and Christmas is just around the corner, and I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip, right? And my wife won't f... my wife won't make love to me 'cuz I ain't got no money, right?" So they're panicking right now, they're screaming "SELL! SELL!" to get out before the price keeps dropping. They're panicking out there right now! I can feel it! They out there!
Randolph Duke: [on the ticker machine, the price keeps dropping] He's right, Mortimer! My God, look at it!
Billy Ray Valentine: I'd wait until you get to around sixty-four, THEN I'd buy. You'll have cleared out all the suckers by then.
Randolph Duke: This is Randolph Duke. Advise our clients interested in bellies to buy at sixty-four. Mr. Valentine has set the price.
[He punches up the numbers on his calculator]
Randolph Duke: Do you realize how much money he just saved us?
Mortimer Duke: Money isn't everything, Randolph!
