      benefits and halo

      After Nick Leeson of "Rogue Trader"? In fact, the so-called devils emerge in an endless stream, and their purpose is nothing more than profit and halo!

      In 2002, John Rusnak, a trader in the Baltimore branch of Allied Irish Bank in the United States, caused a loss of 750 million US dollars for the bank; in
      2008, a trader of Societe Generale, Keville, illegally used 50 billion euros of funds to buy Stock index futures, causing a $6.7 billion loss to the bank.
      In September...

      they cannot escape the history

      Rogue Trader
      Today, I saw the movie Rogue Trader. It definitely states the people's mind and the condition of stock market. I had read some material which talks about Rosechald's programs' process. I have to say the Barlin Bank lacked of the administration for the low position. Their eyes was lacked by the huge profits, and didn't view this problem as soon as possible. And their process's is very slow, and it was always blocked. Moreover, I thought as a great bank, if they don' t have own...

      Sound and Music Appreciation

      The film begins with a wild male vocal, accompanied by a newscaster delivering financial information. The voice of the announcer drifted away, and the singing was connected with the fast-paced dance music of the disco, which was very natural. The scene shifts to a disco where people speak loudly and hoarsely. Until a black man picked up his chair and hit the protagonist Nick.
              The long shot, medium shot, and close shot of the city of London alternate. A group of traders in black...

      Do not forget peace of mind

      In the story, the actor should have been doing brokerage work to earn commissions, but he used the client's idle funds without the client's knowledge
      . It's not easy to happen.

      The main character's motivation is largely not due to greed in human nature.
      It should be said that he did these things because of hardships.
      At first, it was because of the mistakes of the subordinate employees.
      Later , it was forced by the boss's requirements for profit.
      When he made...

      "Barings Bank Collapse"

      Who is this? Nick Leeson,
        
      a futures and options staff member from Morgan Stanley, joined Barings Bank on June 16, 1989, and in March 1991, Nick Leeson returned to London. His success in Jakarta and his training at Morgan Stanley made Nick Leeson a specialist in futures and options settlement.
      Of course, in the subsequent overtrading of derivative financial products in Singapore, speculation failed, resulting in a loss of US$1.4 billion. The...

      The first lessons of futures trading and currency banking were watching this movie. Although the film is a little bloody, it is basically realistic. The collapse of Barings wasn't all Nick's problem. It's ironic that a problem that can be solved by doing a good balance sheet has caused such a big old company to...

      I watched it in class, and after reading it, I finally realized how terrible the stock market is! Not only did Nick make a mistake, but the senior executives of Barings Bank were blinded by their interests, and finally the bank with a long history went bankrupt, showing the greed of people's...

      SIMEX. . . I wanted to learn something. . . Still didn't understand anything. . . I didn't even understand why they vomited, I can still understand when I choked, what is there to vomit? Also, no one vomited together, and a close-up? Evil or not? It's no wonder that a good wife who is beautiful but still feels uneducated and petite looks so familiar: Anna Friel, a flower in Pushing Daisies. ....

    Evaluation action

    A classic in business war movies, it is also a mainstream movie that unabashedly defends human greed and desire in an era where money is in command. The film is based on the background of Singapore, a global financial giant, and describes the greedy nature of Nick, a "trump card" trader in the stock market, who uses all means to manipulate the stock market behind the scenes. James Dearden, the son of a stock broker, used his usual...

    Movie quotes

    • Peter Norris: Now, we've had a lot of stick over funding. Brenda Granger tells me we're borrowing all over Japan to get the funds to you. People are beginning to talk, Nick.

      Nick Leeson: I understand. I understand completely.

      Peter Norris: Excellent. Good man.

      [he turns back to chat with the others]

      Nick Leeson: [voiceover] And that was it. That was apparently all he had to say on the subject of my enormous exposure that was causing so many ulcers throughout the Barings empire.

    • Tony Hawes: You're down for 450, aren't you? Your bonus? Only a week to go.

      Nick Leeson: Sorry?

      Tony Hawes: Have you thought about what you're going to do with it? Only a week to go.

      Nick Leeson: [taps his glass and rises] Excuse me, I have an announcement to make. I know that some of you are worried about our exposure in the market and you're probably wondering about the identity of our mystery customer X. Well, the fact is he doesn't exist. We are the customer, Barings. And if you look properly at the five eights account, which is not a client account at all, it's an errors account, you'll realise that it's concealing losses in the region of 200 million pounds. No, I tell a lie, it's more like 230 after today.

      [shocked, the executives abruptly vomit into their dinners. The picture fades back to a few moments earlier as Nick emerges from a daydream]

      Tony Hawes: Only a week to go. What are you going to do with all that money?

      Nick Leeson: Well, I'm not going to spend it on futures and options.

      [everyone else laughs]

    • Peter Baring: [getting off the phone] That was the Sultan of Brunei's office. They've decided not to proceed, they believe the risks are too great and the time too short in view of the need to have a rescue package in place by the time the markets open again in the Far East.

      Simon Jones: Is there really no one else?

      Peter Norris: We've tried everyone. It's hopeless.

      Peter Baring: I therefore have to inform you that Barings is insolvent and will go into immediate liquidation.

      [Peter Norris bursts into tears]
