Favorite Stock Market Movies

eiii... the PSE stock market has been bloody red for three days already. During this period, watching the PSE market is boring but of course good chance to enter for a reversal play. But maybe it would still go down so sometimes, it's best to relax at let them take profit. We just review charts when the dust settle down.

Watching movies are best past time for me. Below are some good movies about stocks that I watched.

1. The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)


Starring Will Smith and his real-life son, Jaden Smith. This movie is based on the story of Chris Gardner and the trials and tribulations that he endured on his way towards becoming a multi-millionaire. "The Pursuit of Happyness" focuses on the period of Gardner's life when he was attempting to become a top trainee in Dean Witter Reynolds' stock brokerage training program. Gardner and his son were homeless at the time, as the money that Gardner received through the stock brokerage training program wasn't enough for them to live on. Gardner and his son moved from homeless shelter to homeless shelter, all while Gardner was attempting to gain employment at Dean Witter Reynolds. A truly inspiring story.


2. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stock-broker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.


3. The Scam (2009)

A group of brokers stumble onto a gangster-manipulated stock and descend into distrust and betrayal.

Enjoy!
