I don't understand how you make money from this. If the stock goes down, where is your profit?
Especially if you sold at the high point.
Is he just going to a bookie and placing a bet? Otherwise who is paying the profit to him when the price goes down?
It seemed to me this a tricky issue and it was glossed over in the movie.
