breaking the law here. I just wanna
make sure you understand that.

:57:10
No one is gonna get hurt, but the law
is gonna be broken. -Laws were made

:57:13
to be broken. - Lose talk is the one thing I
worry about.

:57:16
I can keep my mouth shut.
:57:22
Gloster, come on over here
and sit down.

:57:27
Tokyo exchange is 9 hours behind us,
the NY exchange is 1 hour ahead of us.

:57:31
There is never one hour in which
both exchanges are open.

:57:36
Information moves, but it has to wait.
Now, I have a fellow working for me.

:57:39
D'ya know what a hacker is?
:57:43
Yeah, sure. That's like a computer expert,
a genius. -Very good.

:57:46
And what this boy has been able to do,
is tap into that main link

:57:49
between Tokyo and NY
and when we really need it

:57:52
he's been able to give us
a 7 second delay

:57:55
in the transfer of that information.
Do you know what that means?

:57:59
Well, I can see that you get your
information ahead of NY.

:58:03
Every once in a while
a major change happens.

:58:06
And we have a 7 second advantage
to put a buy order, a sell order,

:58:11
into that computer in NY just before
that data from Tokyo comes pulling in

:58:14
right behind it.
:58:18
Not much time.
-No, we have to be ready, we have

:58:21
to have the money, we have to know
what that information means

:58:24
and we have to move like grease
lightning.

:58:26
But boy, when it works,
it is beautiful!

:58:31
Seven seconds, ah?
:58:34
I don't see how you can do it.
-Machines!

:58:37
Machines, Gloster!
:58:39
I've got a whole room full of machines
machines back here.Y'wanna see it?

:58:46
Henry, no. -I've got a whole suite full
of mainframe computers back here.

:58:52
They are so beautiful!
-No, Henry.

:58:57
Oh, you got a minute?
Come on, Gloster!
