@@bfarmstrong3 Again, that's literally the point. He brings up in a conversation how throughout history nobody is content with the good things they have and that they overreach to get more, more, more. His experience mirrors that. It's not lazy writing, it's exactly the opposite
He would have never made 50M in 10 days. 😅 That's not reality. The market is a balance of buy/supply/and manipulation. By the time was moving 1M in assumadly penny stocks, too many alarm bells would have been ringing. Buy 1 stock and you effect 3 stocks... Sell 1 stock and you effect 3 buys.. and the butterfly effect is ongoing. What I'm saying is, it would take years to make 50M because your presence on the market changes it.. he made $7500 in two days because his presence was almost invisible. But by 2M people were aware. Therefore for his buying impact changes far too much . It's how the market works and why individuals cant become billionaires on the market. No all the billionaires you're about to tell me that did, did so due to help and screwing people over.
I still don’t understand how within 2 days he made $7,500 but then and goes and gets a loan from a gangster. He could’ve done that for a few weeks and had his own money
Completely agree haha. With those returns it’ll be a week and he’ll have the 100k. He had EZT for months. He could have been set for life and not even got through 1/4 of the tin 😂
Much, much faster than that. Even if he's only doubling (instead of quintupling) his money each day, he gets to $100K in four days: Day 1: $7.5k x 2 = $15k Day 2: $15k x 2 = $30k Day 3: $30k x 2 = $60k Day 4: $60k x 2 = $120k
The point of getting the loan means he can trade larger positions on margin, if he can quintuple his 800 to 7500 in 2 days think of what he can do with 100k and leverage? That’s the point
@@jameswebalization457 true, u will get the proportional amount of each ingredient, and there are only a certain number of different ways to produce drugs, so after pop some nzt and get to work
his earnings were growing exponentially, and also his "algorithm" states he can beat the market, hey he takes out a loan thats just roughly 90% more capital then he had? ANNNND he forgets to pay off the super sketchy loan shark? lol
I love that the entire comments section understands how foolish of a financial decision this was. It's indicative of how impatient, foolhardy, and impulsive his character truly is. (Fun fact: On the first day, he takes his $800 to $2,000. On the second day, he takes it from $2,000 to 7,500. A nearly four-fold increase. If he would have stayed with it at even just a three-fold increase daily, he would have been a Billionaire in only 14 days.)
Not for the defense contract next week. So a next week event is priced into a falling stock where those in though know would be accumulating. How ever would he make money that week on a next week catalyst
@@forextrading007 Yeah. Please look at people reactions for Q1 earnings of Tesla, Meta etc. Are you gonna sell or buy? So it takes much more than that.
The most fundamentally wrong thing with all of this was the need to go through a loan shark. That connection nearly cost him his life. It sucks that there are so many old hat strategists mucking up the wheels of progress in society. Tried and true methodology and idealism destroys leaps and bounds or hinders it by decades. Sheer stubbornness is holding back society, infrastructure, development, experimentation, creativity and most of the other fields of known and unknown triumphs we could be accomplishing. This not only creates dangerous situations but like the theatrical version of this movie showed- leaves the tried and true and hidden in the dust when real breakthroughs actually happen. It's insane how many lives are lost by nothing more than jealousy of success.
Love the movie and Bradley Cooper's acting but for a super smart guy because of NZT there were many dumb things he still did. Number one, he should have had some patience. Making money that fast raised suspicions. Number 2, doesn't appear he paid the loan shark back which is why he came looking for him.
Not smart enough to not get money from a loan shark, not pay said loanshark back when it was due, thinking that it would be even remotely OK to turn 100k into 2 million in one week and worse yet, deciding your illegal loan is necessary when you can quintuple your money in 4 days' work, negating any necessity for a loan when it will take you virtually no time to get there either way.
Yeah this is the biggest issue I have with the scene. Those funds would be locked down tight until they found out where he got them and made sure to tax him.
Hold on a sec ,how a bank accepted 100k cash, I lent my brother 10k£ cash for his mortgage deposit sent all the statements and the bank still didnt accept it

this whole scene makes zero sense, dude was more than doubling his money each day, had he kept doing it, starting with a grand, he would have hit 1 million in 10 days. why bother getting a loan at all
this show SHOWS how primitive traders still is, #1 there is no fix, #2. the market can actually detect you (it can actually singularly down to you) and make you lose on purpose LOL #3 its absolutely unbeaten able even with any kind of drugs, you would have had powers of god to beat it. you seriously think there is a "fix" and it's not illegal if u detected a pattern or fix and use it to win...
The reason you think you're being "detected" is because you're not clever and a lot of other participants are thinking like you. You must learn how to trade against the "obvious." It's rather simple when you learn to fade breakouts since there are so many traders who will trade the breakouts, and many traders who will be stopped out on the breakouts, then it reverses.

For a guy on NZT this was the dumbest financial decision possible. He was 4 days away from 100k without this guy.
That's right
I totally agree with you
Oh my god. Lol.
It ruined the whole movie for me. Disaappointed.
He wanted everything on the spot, as fast as humanly possible, and he ends up crashing because of it. It's only on the second half of the movie that he wises up and slows down.
After he made $2 million he probably should have paid the Russian back and gave him a tip

Dude couldn’t remember to pay after 2 weeks.
But he could remember detailed Bruce Lee fighting moves from 20 years ago.

Super smart... Forgets to pay the loan shark...
At the rate he was making money the loan only pushed him forward by a few days too!
Anyway he gave us a few ideas for implementation in real life !
@@forextrading007 I love the movie though. Just watched it with my son recently.
amount of money he was making? Just arrange to have the loan shark offed for fuck sakes.
@@Keon753 Yeah for someone so smart he seemed pretty dumb. It's one of those he had to do that or there'd be no movie kind of things.
Don't forget that sharks get greedy
He was roughly tripling his money each day. By day 10 he'd have $50 million.
As he said elsewhere in the movie "We're wired to overreach"
Yes, but apparently, "it was too slow,"... so he had to go sketchy and use a loan shark to save 2 or 3 days. haha LAZY WRITING
Even if he only made $7500 a day, he'd have $100k in just over 13 days. With exponential growth, the $100k probably saved him a few days tops. Silly
@@bfarmstrong3 Again, that's literally the point. He brings up in a conversation how throughout history nobody is content with the good things they have and that they overreach to get more, more, more.

Not to mention that he could learn how to make NZT himself
You should watch the movie..

90%? You mean 900%. You wouldn't be cut out for it.
900% x 2.5 leverage
All he had to do was pay off the shark as soon as he made the full amount of the loan back and go on his merry way.
This is exactly what the smart people do. They always forget to mind their surroundings, let alone a loan shark.
for a movie that shows a guy getting more and more "smart" is the fact that he "forgot" to pay the "mafia" a plot plot? what the hell?
Thanks everyone for your comments under this video 🙏 good job 🎉
Comments pretty much sum up this movie fun in concept but has massive plot holes that would be easily avoided if the MC was as smart as portrayed.
I love that the entire comments section understands how foolish of a financial decision this was. It's indicative of how impatient, foolhardy, and impulsive his character truly is.

Exactly. Not paying off the loan shark, diving off the cliff, he's still himself just with more abilities, perception and motivation.

Progress must be profitable. That's what holds back progress.
Forgetting to pay the loan shark/this entire ridiculous scenario happens because the movie needs dumb tension.

For a genius the guy was stupid enough to wait on paying the loan shark back. He coulda been out of his hair from day one.
