I watched it a while ago and I liked it a lot. It is not a wow movie but it is entertaining specially with Richard gere. It is not all about trading. It is a drama , about family issues, loyality, personality and conflict of interests.
Quote from PointOne: ----$400M "hole" in the accounts.
----who pays back his friend (who was financing the variation margin call)....
----a) Gere's character, from his share of the $525M proceeds from the sale; OR
b) the new owner.
----I go with the new owner....
----cash is sitting there in escrow anyway as collateral for the forward copper sale hedges....
Was that supposed to be an "homage" to Bank of America buying out Merrill Lynch in 2008 and discovering gigantic losses and not reneging on the original deal?
