      What they do is train you, make you loyal to the company then they will tell you reasons why they do their dodgy stuff…

      @Francis Serra yes i know the script are not written by him. However, actors do have some say in the script depending on how close they are with the director/producer. Sometimes they ask permission to alter the lines for latent references or just being witty. The line he said does not impact the main story, just adds to his characteristic. Don't pretend like actors NEVER get any say during a film, and they just follow orders like a bot.

      @@phatlewt2932 XD the movie is called "Boiler room" lmao a "chop shop" is for stolen vehicles XD! Yeah they do, I worked in one kinda... You see a boiler room (a high pressure or just unethical telephonic sales team) in the context of securities sales can span on legitimacy. It can be a full scam where they sell you nothing from India, lie and just steal your money by draining your bank account. Or fully legit, where you are ethically but immorally talked into registered and fully disclosed investments like loaded mutual funds (I did this, not really screwing people but twisting arms to get sales). Or somewhere in between.
      This movie revolves around the belfort case where they were engaging in market manipulation. Basically I call you tell you this stock is a great buy (only partially illegal to do so, also stock promoter firms are legal, this is the more preferred rout to do this today, not a boiler room) , I already own the stock, I sell it to you for more then I bought it for. I keep doing it, the price keeps climbing, when i've sold it all, I walk and the price tanks. People who bought high now own worthless trash they can sell for a huge loss. Hence the "pump n dump".
      We saw this basically just happen with GameStop. The stock was being pumped on reddit, not via a boiler room, people bought, stopped out a few hedge funds (idiot political commentators that hardly have a HS Diploma let alone formal ed in finance loved this) then dumped. Anyone who bought has lost up to 85% of what they spent that didn't bail out before the dump. It doesn't take a Masters of science in quantitative finance to understand the tactics.

    My circle of friends were heavily involved in an MLM pyramid scheme many years ago. They were desperately trying to get me on board, and I refused to take part in the scam, which they insisted it wasn't. I was actually extremely insulted when they did, as they were clearly looking at me as the next sucker.
    One night, we watched this movie at their "office." They absolutely loved it, trying to pick tactics from it. They failed to understand the FBI raid at the end, and I tried telling them, "Told ya this stuff is a scam."

    Wow, that brought back memories! That is pretty damm close to reality. When I entered the training program of the firm that hired me, 19 started the program. One quit after the first day. I was the only survivor, who actually gained my Series 7, 3, and 65. It's irrelevant that the 'firm' here was illegal, a "Boiler room" concern. The manner in which business is conducted is very similar. The Wolf Of Wall Street is an extreme example, but still, plausible. I managed to be quite successful, before I decided I would no longer feed the greed. It is a business where you have to sell your soul to the devil, if you want to do it. I am too moral. The BMW was nice, as were the crazy perks. But, I have my German luxury sedan without having to be somebody I'm not.

      I used to be a broker as well. I always thought this movie and Wolf of Wall Street were the most spot on. Got PTSD from WOWS the first time I saw it {No one died at our Christmas parties!). It is an amoral business even if done by the most moral person. "Greed is good, and information is the currency. How you get that information is none of our business. Just don't get caught." I remember my mentor telling me this as a junior broker. Chilling as I type this now. I lasted only 6 months. 100% commissions; made $1 for a month of work my first month. Made $5000 a day thereafter. Made enough to pay for Grad School and quit.

    I was actually once in an interview for a trading firm and it was somewhat similar to this. There were no curse words thrown and the manager was well mannered ( after all it was real life not a Hollywood movie). We were about 20 young people in the conference room where they explained about what the job was like and did some q&a with us, and they made sure we understood you have to work your ass off, and that you are supposed to become a millionaire within a few years.
    Out of about 20 people in the room they only picked 3. I didn’t go through but I also knew it wasn’t for me.

      Ben isn't always good, but I would say, to be fair to him, he has been great. The Town (2010) was a great movie. He did a great job directing and acting in that Film. Often he is not good, often he is in bad movies and gives bad performances. I'd rather that than an actor that is always mediocre. He has potential to be remembered as a great talent, so long as he doesn't get to heavily involved with politics. I have no issue with celebrities sharing their political beliefs, especially if they passionate about them. But they need to understand the possible implications on their popularity, and weigh that with the good they will do for their cause. This was a long way of saying I agree with you.
