Arbitrage is everywhere in the film

In the movie, the protagonist buys a copper mine in Russia, and then shorts it in the futures market, which should be hedging.

The so-called arbitrage is the act of buying low and selling high, causing prices to return to the equilibrium level. For example, he spends less on his lover (rent and some other expenses) than the hero's wife (millions of charitable expenses) to get the pleasure of cheating/love. He uses 2 million trust funds to give The black guy, in exchange for his false confession, escaped the law. These are arbitrage

The heroine's wife threatened the heroine by reporting it to the police, forcing him to transfer all his property to himself and his child's name, and exchanging his face for assets, which is also arbitrage.

All kinds of.

It can be seen that on Wall Street, behind every decision is not a non-black and white moral standard, but a calculation of benefits, a comparison of profits after subtracting costs from benefits.

Why does the film end with applause, because at the charity gala, hiding the dirty and taking vested interests into the bag is the best solution to maximize profits.
