Trading Places has got to be one of my all time favourite comedies, I have seen it many times with friends over the past couple of decades, but we are always at a loss when it comes to the ending of the movie.
I get the overall picture, Billy Ray and Winthorpe screw the Dukes over by delivering their fabricated version of the orange growth report, and using the savings of Ophelia and Coleman they play the stock market to their advantage, but it’s the playing the stock market bit where I loose the plot, at one point they jump up and down with joy over a number on a stock market board at the end of days trading, I know this means they have made a load of cash, but what does this number mean? As it's just a couple of digits.
And how exactly do they manage to make the Dukes bankrupt in the process?
