Supercapitalist
Back in the '80s and '90s,
information was key.
Now it's a whole new game.
These days, with the Internet,
sh*t windowless box
might be pushing around more money
than some of the biggest funds.
They're getting information faster than
anyone else
they're masters of a chat room.
That's why our job is not
just about information.
It's about intelligence.
When we buy a stock,
it's because an idiot sold it to us.
And when I say us,
I don't mean those pussies
over on Wall Street.
Hedge funds, gentlemen, are the future.
And we thrive, not only by our ability to
decipher the clues and read between the lines,
but by designing foolproof plans
to be executed to the 'T'
by supercapitalists.
We are a superior,
covert agency of operatives
created and incentivized to
fulfill one mission:
as much money as you can before you die.
We will bear arms with our words,
and more importantly,
go to war if need be
using all tactics imaginable,
and unimaginable.
Because...
we create events.
Events to unlock shareholder value.
And that's why our fund is up 25%,
year over year, for the last 5 years.
What about Asia?
Well, we got a guy set up in Hong Kong.
Real smart, knows his stuff.
Come on, will you take a look!
Come on, baby!
- Come on!
- Come on!
F***! Bullshit!
Traders are on edge at the moment as they wait for
that Federal Reserve announcement on interest rate.
Raising rate substantially, well,
could have a dramatic effect on
The US economy.
Could choke off growth
as the higher borrowing cost means that
people find it harder to take out loans.
Experts are warning, though,
that there is a need for
higher borrowing costs to curb...
1%, right, Conner?
Sure!
Just word got out.
cut rate to 1%?
This is the one, Andy.
I can feel it.
That's why I like about you, man.
Crazy!
Yo, Conner, man.
Thank you again for those analytics yesterday. Spot on!
- Hey, remember, box seats!
- Seriously, with this guy.
- Hey, let me ask you something.
- What's up?
This Friday,
Yankees vs Mets, what you got, man?
- Johnson vs Kashida.
- Yes, sir!
I heard word on the street is that
Kashida broke up with his fiance.
So, he's gonna be
a little distracted.
- How do you know that?
- Come on!
Yankees by 2.
Go with me on this!
OK, that's what I'm talking about.
Big day today.
You ready?
Yeah.
Mr. Brown, your conference connected.
What do you got for me?
Hendriks?
Our old man [...] over at R8W is about to kick the bucket,
so we're gonna short.
Ouch.
Pretty boy!
Our work spec at the Fed
announce big numbers,
so we're just going to sit tight today.
Pussies!
One more thing on the agenda today, guys.
We are going to say sayonara
to Hong Kong, everybody.
It's time to dump Fei and Chang.
OK, everybody.
If that's it!
Hey, Mark.
It's Conner.
I think we should actually increase
our position on Fei and Chang.
How much?
$80-90 million.
Have you completely lost your mind?
Well, Feds in a bind.
They gonna cut...
I thought I told you to drop
this 1% bull...
- I've been re-running the numbers, OK, my gut is tell...
- Your gut?
What?
You think this is Vegas or something?
You can go around betting your gut?
Mark, I'm sorry.
You gonna have to excuse young Mr. Conner here.
It seems he has just awoken from Dreamland.
With these rates, OK,
consumers... they are gonna go out,
they're gonna re-finance their homes,
they're gonna have a lot of cash.
They're gonna have the cash to buy the flat-screen TV,
the phones, the gads, whatever they want for their kids.
And who makes those consumer products?
China.
And what's the largest company
that's gonna benefit from that?
I'm sorry. Am I the only one who thinks that
he's in Fantasyland right now?
The Fed will never cut rates to 1%.
Figure it out and get back to me.
- Will you just listen to me...
- Listen to me!
Fei and Chang is dead.
This meeting's over.
Get the f*** out!
You think you're so smart, don't you?
You and your magic numbers.
Ah... God.
Let me tell you something.
You pull another stunt in there like that again
the only magic you'll be doing
Rubbing your magic lamp.
Got it.
Good.
Andy, dump all Fei and Chang in the open.
You're making a mistake.
Oh! Woa!
What makes you think some punk college dropout
has the privilege of telling me what to do?
I've been covering your sector
for the last 6 months.
I've been drafting proposals,
I've been crunching the numbers,
I'm pretty much...
doing your job.
So, yeah, personally,
I think I deserve...
You know, I don't give a rat's ass
what you personally think.
You're making unprecedented calls
in the market,
and you're doing whatever you want.
There's a chain of command here,
so when I say go f*** yourself, you ask "how deep?"
You got that?
Morris, lighten up a bit.
Andy, if I wanted some unsolicited advice from a little b*tch,
I'll go call my ex-wife.
Let me spell it out for you, Fed, 1%.
Fei and Chang, massive upside.
OK, OK. Smart ass!
You wanna put your money
where your mouth is?
Oh, come on.
Whatever!
Yeah.
10 to 1. Why not?
You don't want to be here, and I don't want you here.
So I tell you what?
Everyone, listen up for a second!
Listen up.
will hereby contribute to, sh*t-for-brains,
that's you,
the sum of $50,000, if
sh*t-for-brains here, runs around the office
with his pants off screaming,
"Morris is my daddy!"
What are you doing, man?
Nothing is worth your self respect.
That is so touching!
I swear, I just don't know what Mark sees in you.
If it were up to me, you'll be nothing more
than a guy picking a corner out of my big wet sh*t.
Big wet sh*t, got it.
Mr. Brown, Mark is on line 1.
Thank you.
Andy, dump it.
Stocks are getting a boost off of the Federal Reserve's
reduced cost of borrowing to 1%.
That's the move here. You have to go back,
what, to the 1940s to see money this cheap.
What's expected?
Rising house prices.
As a result of more consumer spending.
Investors really at the moment trying to grapple
the Fed's move here, trying to make sense of it.
One thing is for certain, though.
This is a major shift in monetary policy, for the US economy.
And way, way beyond that.
Let's have a look at the market,
and the reaction,
in a bit more detail.
Laurie, get Mark back on the line, will you?
Enjoy your meal.
Thanks.
1%? Who could have predicted that?
Not a damn person.
- Hey there!
- Hey!
What do you want, Mark?
I came to give you this.
But minus fees, of course.
- What is this?
- It's your earnings, for sticking it to Morris today.
Look...
I didn't get to be the man standing before you
without taking a few risks.
I took that bet that Morris laid out, and
I took a risk on you.
And now it's time for you to take a risk on yourself.
