Rogue Trader
Today, I saw the movie Rogue Trader. It definitely states the people's mind and the condition of stock market. I had read some material which talks about Rosechald's programs' process. I have to say the Barlin Bank lacked of the administration for the low position. Their eyes was lacked by the huge profits, and didn't view this problem as soon as possible. And their process's is very slow, and it was always blocked. Moreover, I thought as a great bank, if they don' t have own information line, it would be a big mistake. Actually, if they realize this, they could stay away from the destory. Finally, we could find that he didn't lose the money as much as his control. Thus, we could indicate that the Barlin Bank's history couldn't escape.

    The first lessons of futures trading and currency banking were watching this movie. Although the film is a little bloody, it is basically realistic. The collapse of Barings wasn't all Nick's problem. It's ironic that a problem that can be solved by doing a good balance sheet has caused such a big old company to collapse...

    Ivan classmate, he has the excellent quality of acting like a British actor.

Rogue Trader quotes

  • Nick Leeson: I'd never even heard of Barings before I started working for them. It's not like there's a Barings Bank in Watford.

    Lisa Leeson: Well, you're a big hero back in London, they think the sun shines out your arse.

    Nick Leeson: Really? I was beginning to feel like one of those Japanese soldiers, you know, still stuck out in the jungle 20 years after the war.

    Lisa Leeson: What's it like here? They tell it's not safe to go out at night.

    Nick Leeson: That's bollocks, the locals are great. Best thing about this place is it's not still full of pompous ex-colonials who think they were born to rule the world. That's what I love about Asia, anyone can make it, it doesn't matter which stupid school you went to.

    Lisa Leeson: When they told me I was going to Jakarta I had to look it up on a map.

    Nick Leeson: As a matter of fact, so did I.

  • Nick Leeson: [voiceover] My team were young, they were hungry, and they didn't have a clue.

    [in a cafe with his newly hired team]

    Nick Leeson: A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specified amount of a commodity at a specified price at a future date.

    [no one responds]

    Nick Leeson: All right, um... it's like if I agree to sell you this cup of cappuccino, which I don't yet own, at 45 cents a month from now, if I can buy the cappuccino at say, 43 cents, I make a profit. If the price goes the other way, I have to pay more and I lose. It's timing, it's buying and selling at the right moment. Sometimes expresso might be the best deal, or salt or pepper.

    George Seow: So, we're running a supermarket, huh?

    [they laugh]
