The root of all evil is the buying and selling of opportunities

Investing is buying capital with money.
If you buy an opportunity with money, it is an investment opportunity to buy and sell, and it is called speculation.

The difference between an investor and a speculator is that the former is in business vision, while the latter is in gambling opportunities.
Investors operate long-term investments, and like any other industry, they make decisions, make hard work, and gain profits.
Speculators are keen on short-term gambling, taking advantage of the ups and downs to hype for huge profits, a few people get rich overnight, and most people go bankrupt.

Having said so much, it is actually easy to explain the inevitable failure of speculation, the four words "earning for nothing".
Economics is based on human nature, and if many truths are spoken in vernacular, everyone can distinguish right from wrong.
It turns into money, it becomes the expansion of ambition to explain it, and then I don't understand it, and I forget everything.

For example, if you say suicide is to end your own life, everyone understands that.
But if it turns into a drug, those addicts will just ignore it, lose control, and live or die.

In fact, this is a bit like a professional thing, once the civilians are flattened, it will change its taste. The mentality of speculating and playing stocks to make a fortune is the same as the mentality of entering a draft to come up with a winner. Such people never weigh their own weight first, but take an oath with their soul, and take the opportunity to dream. On the day I wake up, there is also the moment when the bubble bursts. There are several times in the film that the bubbles rise into the sky, and then rise and rise again, in fact, it is hanging heart, hanging heart.

Douglas was old, but he did a good job, especially in the speeches promoting his book, which were inspiring and appetizing.
I found that the old guys in this film played one game well and the other, the old man named Julie, the wind was blowing really well.
