Quote from colinwilson:

Wallstreet not only the best market movie ever, the BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!

In a universe where Casablanca and The Godfather weren't made maybe

Quote from cashmoney69:

What I dont get is in the very beginning of the film, bud fox buys 200k shares of teldar paper...

I though brokers just called people and asked them for money for thier firm, I didn't know they actually made trades..I thought that was the traders job...not the brokers.

My first job as a broker we actually had to hand write out the order and bring it to the trading desk where the traders executed it (this was 1996 in a small firm). We quickly moved to desk top execution at the wirehouse firms. I don't think firms do this anymore, but we would get daily sheets of stocks in inventory that brokers would get extra commish for selling. At the boiler room I was at we would have $8 stocks where we could get a dollar or more per share. Yes, you read that correctly. The SEC put a stop to that.

The average retail broker is not doing 200,000 share orders on a regular basis.

I wanted to say, if anyone is looking for the movie "Wall street" you can get it on DVD by buying the "michael douglas collection" at wal mart.

Its a hard movie to find, so I thought I'd throw that out there.
