The way I remember it was that the bad guy had put all the money into "put" options on the stock -- betting that the stock would go down. Assuming that the options had a very near expiration date and were "out of the money", they could well have been worthless when the crash did not happen.I agree with you, the movie was not stellar. I found the action scenes overly long and found Craig to be stiff. He certainly lacked the style of Connery, Moore or even Brosnan. Why do people get bent out of shape about who was the best Bond? Watch the movie, enjoy it for what you can.
