Boiler room Sales

[VERGIS92]

This is very realistic, I actually have seen it happen, and all these university educated doctors and lawyers actually did buy the bait, they just don't have the street savvy to think suspiciously. At the same time I know uneducated, but savvy people who came too close, but finally didn't buy into the late 1990s stock rally, exactly because they sensed it was too good to be true.

[CitySkin09]

If I lived by this movie doing business, I'd be dead broke in one year. How do you like those apples? I'd rather slang 'caine to these yuppie assholes.

[aibelievebiz]

if anyone tell you money is the rout of all evil .He doesn't f**ken have it .

[drakonis63]

@aibelievebiz Its actually "the LOVE of money", not "money"

[MrDreamer]

I Love this movie.............its my prep movie for my buisness.

[jadenspop1]

[LandonSlaughter]

Liquid means he owns everything. no credit.

[AziMeX]

@LandonSlaughter no, liquid means that his assets are in cash, not for example real estate or bonds that can't be converted to cash quickly.

[N8154]

does he say, "I am liquid" and if so what does that mean

[chubbs032]

Hes got cash.

[utadamy]

It means he has cash (or equivalent) in the bank. In otherwords he could go to Vegas next week and blow $1M no problem.

The alternative is stuff like house values or things you would have to sell for cash. You can be a millionaire if you have $100K in the bank and have a house worth $900K.  Though you would only be $100K "liquid"

[wang77]

Never watch the movie, but financially, that means you are going bankrupted.

[wang77]

means you are going to convert all your assets into cash, sometimes, it means you are going bankrupt.

[gangsta8929]

thats wrong liquid means in cash to liquiate is to move something into cash.

[shawdavari]

liquid means he can have cash asap.

[gangsta8929]

liquid means he has it in cash. like in his checking or savings.

[MrCoffin32]

One of my favorite films.

[mdlulisto]

just plain profain

[redletterchurch]

What a f@%king pump and dump snake-eyed piece of sh#t!

[irondaddymac]

You're missing the point. You're making a character association. What's awesome about the movie are the pitches, the objection handling, the CLOSES are out of this world. It's sales stuff and the same techniques apply whether you're saving whales or pushing mortgages or selling legit shares of stock.

The only way to make a sales movie interesting is to make the movie about bad guys, who happen to be a bunch of sick salesmen.

[redletterchurch]

Good guys should study how the bad guys do business...and then use the techniques to do business the right way. I don't have a problem with greed...but I have a HUGE problem with irresponsibility. Irresponsibility is rampant in this stupid world. Good guys need to do battle with the bad guys...AND WIN!!!

[CIApunisher916]

I'm glad FINRA exists to throw these scummy brokerages firms out of business.

[Kommaseir]

Really!? I guess they couldn't shut down wall street though...

[Theprophet524]

lol yea they were a little bit slow pulling the trigger on that one

[HFStrategy]

find the video for "HFSTRATEGY" on youtube...it has a sick beat with gordon gekko

[rsinghny]

This a great movie on the art of salesmanship.

[Winninginbusiness]

Well of course they invest it in the econmy and the difference between the guarentee(fear of risk) they sold us on and the return on their ivestments represents their profit margin. To me, having my money safely not growing far out weighs the risk of investing provining I have educated my self. I know my example is a no brainer but through my context, I have learned to understand what is risky without a basis of fear as we are subconciously taught in our lives. The same is true for a job vs.

[BBCcashville]

the best line ever, Who siad money cant buy you happiness? look the F-ing smile on my face...lol

[sans182]

what was the song at the end of the movie

[hitmanhatton11]

Future big swinging dicks of this firm.

[advorang]

Vin Diesel as a stock broker... Thats pretty funny. This movie was cool. They even paid homage to Wall Street in it.

[szykoli4nost]

ciccone39: yes u can

[szykoli4nost]

Thats what i do :) and its the best job ever after Top Gear :)

[ciccone39]

Can someone be trained for this type of work just like in this movie? No college degree, just pick up the phone and start trying, learn as you go.

[avail18]

This is how my 3 year long career started at Ameriquest Mortgage

[benbenj84]

Oh yeah. You dont need any qualifications except being able to sell. Because that is all you are there for.

[AndreGDJ]

A college degree (unless in, say, a technical subject pertinent to specialised sales, e.g. of equipment for use in nuclear reactors) is, at best, unnecessary. From what I've seen, the best thing is to have tasted real poverty in life: the richest person I know got into sales after finding himself without a job & having to sleep in his car...

[dawp]

wow you really dont know how things work do you andre, your opinion is a joke.

[AndreGDJ]

Of course I don't know what situations you've been exposed to in Australia, but in my 30 or-so years living in the UK and Europe, out of the dozen richest, most (financially) successful people I know or have met, only two had university degrees (one of them studied engineering, and started out selling equipment involved in building train carriages, hence my reference to specialised sales), all of the rest pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, most having experienced real hardship in life...

[Winninginbusiness]

Most people with degrees will never know true financial freedom becuase they are trapped in a high paying job but are still employees making a pre determined amount. Earned income from employment is the highest taxed form of income there is with the no tax advantage

I know someone with a degree that makes 90k a year. I also know someone with no degree and is fully financially licensed and has built a biz and makes $130.000 a MONTH. One is still renting their time and the other is truely free.

[Aussie3774]

I agree, 100%. To be able to set out, and stake your own claim, and create a business of your own is the ideal situation. Unfortunately, there is also a great deal of risk involved in doing so, too much for some people, especially if kids are around.

Honestly, look at people like Henry Kravis; think he's paying 38 cents on the dollar for his pay? My ass. Once you have your own firm, take a buck per year in actual salary, get the rest in options and diviends...don't want to dilute ownership.

[Winninginbusiness]

I agree also of there being risk and there is also no right or wrong answer but the concept of risk is something to be examined. Through social conditioning we have also inadvertintly been trained to understand what risk in a fear based context and need to redefine for ourselves what is risky.

To most people, keeping their money in the bank at a "guarenteed" 1.98% is smart and investing in the global economy is risky, yes there is risk but what does the bank turn around and do with our money?

[Aussie3774]

Risk aversion is just human nature, and there's nothing wrong with it. Kept us alive long enough to move from grass skirts to business suits ;).

I don't think ppl invest their assets wisely because they are risk-averse, but rather just don't know about the myriad of other options that are available to them. index funds anyone?

[Winninginbusiness]

Actually one of my posts didn't show up. Risk aversion is not bad but my point is when people live their lives missing out on opportunity because of the preception of risk that is in reality fear based social conditioning. The bottom line is if we make choices based upon education and not just what we THINK is risky, that is more empowering than living life by cliche's. Risk aversion is also why millions of people will retire needing government assistance or need to re enter the work force.

[Aussie3774]

I would agree, although my opinion is entirely biased ;).

I grew up dirt-poor. Nothing motivates a person to get as far away from being poor as possible as the ubiquitous pancake dinner. For the rest of your life, you'll always remember what is was like to be poor and looked down upon.

Just to note, a quote from Wall Street: "Give me guys that are poor, smart, hungry - and no feelings. You win a few, you lose a few, but you keep on fighting."- Gordon Gecko

[mcgmark]

No you don't.

[DSkehan501902513]

There some people I didn't no that were in this movie. I saw someone that played the son of the mob boss in Oz that got attacked by Adebesi, and Alveraz.

[makewayforwillie]

They say money cant buy you happinss, look at the f***ing smile on my face, ear-to-ear baby!

[fesenko]

The principle of caveat emptor says—let the buyer beware—remains the investor's best protection. Legal protections are limited, fraudulent activities flourish, and once money is invested in a fraudulent scheme, the chances of getting it back are extremely small. One shouldn't be afraid to invest—but should be on his guard against being swindled.

[salesdatingguy]

This kind of shady behaviour is the prime reason why Attraction Marketing is more effective than Cold Calling as I showcase in my video called Attraction Marketing. click on my name to check it out.

[gerussiovb]

multilel marketing yeah

[FKelly]

All you made was 7k a month, on an Hybrid Arm? What were you doing 1 loan a month? Dont get your home stuck in the mud again.

[nabiji]

[trustusyeahright]

[pistolpete42589]

[maassy]

Does anyone know the name of the track at the ending credits of this film?

[PervezJr]

This is sooo sweet. One of the best movies ever.

[totoeskhoo20]

in the movie, it seems awesome. On the real life floor doctors and ordinary guys don't go so easy; but still, the movie was great.

[stockshunter]

[Se7er]

Hey its the american way. What are you going to do?Hey own a business or be a saleman then you probably wont complain.

[newpaws]

this is wot all companies are all about, ripping the small guy off as much as he/she will accept to pay.. and "accept" doesnt mean its justifyable. companies charge the HIGHEST what you accept, you are all stupid we pay so much coz u accept it all. companies take your money and waste it on pointless advertising so they can make more money COZ THEY KNOW YOU'LL BELIEVE ANYTHING ADVERTISING IS ALL BULLSHIT

YOU ALL ROLL OVER WHEN YOU'RE TOLD TOO BY COMPANIES, YOU'RE WEAK!!
