:17:01
l can handle it.
:17:08
Fernando, how are
March futures looking?
:17:11
- l need 20 contracts at Friday's price.
- You won't get Friday's price!
:17:15
l should have closed off the position
and taken the loss.
:17:18
lnstead, l waited for the market to
change.
:17:20
lt changed all right,
but not the way l wanted.
:17:22
Now l was stuck with a bigger loss than
l could own up to. And it was all my fault.
:17:26
Nick! l hear your girl handed in her notice.
:17:29
Never came back.
She couldn't stand the pace.
:17:32
So much for loyalty!
:17:33
- Did you make the client good?
- Of course. Made a small profit, actually.
:17:37
Good man.
:17:43
(softly) This one's for
the five eights account.
:17:46
l bought the missing contracts.
:17:48
60,000?
:17:49
- Shh!
- lt was only 20 before.
:17:51
And the market went the wrong way.
l had to cut the loss.
:17:54
What did Simon Jones say?
:17:56
Are you serious?
He'd shut us down if he knew.
:17:58
lt'll be all right so long as we balance
the books by the end of the month.
:18:02
- How?
- We trade on our own account...
:18:04
..until we wipe out the losses, then
we use money from the client account...
:18:08
..and pay it back with
next month's profits.
:18:10
You mean, gamble?
:18:13
(whispers) Relax, Bonnie.
That's all the market is.
:18:16
One giant casino!
:18:24
George!
:18:26
l was counting on nobody looking at
the books until the end of each month.
:18:30
As long as the five eights account had a
nil balance on the last day of the month,...
:18:34
..no one would suspect
that anything was wrong.
:18:37
But instead of winning back
the position we made more losses,...
:18:40
..and l had to borrow more money
from the client account to hide them.
:18:52
Fuckin' hell, George,
what are you playing at? Get fuckin' out!
:18:57
Get fuckin' out! Now!
