Trading Movies?

The pit is an OK trading movie, I saw it on Netflix streaming. A little bit depressing, all of these floor traders are getting into the business as it's shutting down. Pretty clear they have no edge other than being on the floor.

Watched Shadow Recruit. Russians try to tape bomb the USD.

Was ok. Typical hollywood crap.

Instead of just movies, what other good documentaries are there?

Saw it. Decent flick. Although not as entertaining as some others, it's definitely the most realistic as far as the floor layoffs, shaving guy, bridge guy, etc. It's still entertainment and not a documentary, so don't get mad at the occasional tacky lines. Anyone who was on the street during the end of 2008 will feel nostalgia! The nameless bank featured in the film takes place in AMEX tower (Lehman's old place).

I heard it had a tiny budget, maybe less than $1m (not sure though) - all I remember is looking at that old $90k Aston DB9 in the movie and thinking, 'well I bet that took up 15% of the budget...'

Not if they were leasing it. That budget seems right. Afterall, it was pretty much filmed inside an office. Their highest capital cost is the crew and actors.

Watching Wall Street Warriors on Hulu is great Sunday viewing. Beats hell out of sitcom re-runs and old turner classic's

(I have an account but I think WsW is offered for free)
