Hollywood Movies to Watch for Lessons in Investing/Trading

[opmi]

Rounders got lessons for money management and psychology.
e.g. Matt Damon going back to Square 1 after losing the stake/capital to continue playing.
If no capital, you are out of the game from poker/investment/trading.

BTW dont watch Runner Runner. Not nice.

2. Rounders

Rounders is my favourite poker movie, which lead to the boom of Texas Hold'em. I don't consider it as a investing/trading movie though.

Inside Job - Takes a closer look at what brought about the financial meltdown.
Rouge Trader - The story of Nick Leeson, an ambitious investment broker who singlehandedly bankrupted one of the oldest and most important banks in Britain.
The Pursuit of Happyness - A struggling salesman takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional endeavor.
Margin Call - Follows the key people at an investment bank, over a 24-hour period, during the early stages of the financial crisis.

Actually the movie Blow also have some lessons for investing. Even business mgt.

E.g. Counterparty risk - When Depp puts all in his drug profits into the Panama banks, then the banks are
nationalised by Noreiga. Return OF money is more important than Return ON money.
