from any we missed let us know in the

number 10 boiler room movies about the

stock market are typically littered with

techniques and motivational phrases used

in high pressure sales environments

things like act as if motion creates

emotion and always be closing get on the

phones it's time to get to work get off

your ass

move around motion creates emotion the

crime drama boiler room is no exception

it's easy to get wrapped up in the

exorbitant wealth that's thrown around

but the film also acts as a warning

about greed similar to martin scorsese's

the wolf of wall street there are many

lessons to take away from boiler room

well i still have to run it by my people

that's great doc if you want to miss yet

another opportunity here and watch your

colleagues get rich doing clinical

trials and don't buy a share and hang up

the phone well hold on a second now i

didn't say that i just want to talk

about it

but perhaps the most important is to

avoid the trap of instant gratification

be very wary about where you invest your

money everyone out here is trying to

make a quick buck that internet stock

that shot through the roof you could

have made millions on it if you just got

in early

and that's exactly what i wanted to do

get in

i didn't want to be an innovator i just

wanted to make the quick and easy buck

number nine goodfellas what do you do

i'm in construction

i don't feel like you're in construction

no i'm a union delegate business is

business which is why we can learn so

much from movies about crime families

martin scorsese's biographical crime

film is the perfect example showing the

importance of thinking strategically and

being people focused

you're only as good as your word and the

ones you keep around you just like in

the godfather too remember don't make

promises you can't keep an empire isn't

made by one man but many while you

shouldn't live for appearances you have

to make your clients and workers feel

special and make sure you have a sense

of humor otherwise you might not pass

the vibe check what do you mean funny

funny how how am i funny

but not just

you know how you tell the story what

no no i don't know you said it how do i

know you said i'm funny number eight the

untouchables be prepared but don't get

cocky during prohibition in the 1920s

and 30s some american gangsters decided

to take advantage of the sudden gap in

the market there is violence in chicago

of course but not by me and not by

anybody i employ and i'll tell you why

because it's not good business making

money is like playing chess you have to

think a few moves ahead blessed with

this skill al capone was able to keep

the police away from his business

however the thing that brought al capone

down was not paying his taxes gentlemen

a subpoena was issued for alphonse

capone by my office

this morning

for the crime of evading and conspiring

to evade

federal income tax you'd be surprised by

the number of superstars and wealthy

business people who get caught out

because they haven't done their tax

returns right get an accountant or at

least make sure that you understand how

taxes work otherwise it might bite you

in the ass your honor

we'd like to withdraw our plea of not

guilty

and enter a plea of guilty

[Music]

number seven the founder this is the

most remarkable restaurant i've seen in

all my years in the food service

industry and i've seen it all

i want to hear your story the story of

how mcdonald's became a household name

isn't a clean one the creation of the

speedy system is pretty impressive the

mcdonald brothers teach you to be

data-driven focus on the customer's

problems and be innovative but the man

who expanded the fast food pit stop into

the worldwide conglomerate was ray kroc

and it's from his involvement that you

can learn the darker side of business

you don't build an empire

off a 1.4 cut of a 15 cent hamburger

you build it by owning the land through

his networking he was able to think big

work with the right people and apply

fresh perspectives the most important

takeaway comes at the end always get

everything in writing look fellas

you'll get your full royalties all right

got my word on that it's a handshake

deal that ultimately leads the brothers

to lose everything they built

number six the social network you're

gonna go through life thinking that

girls don't like you because you're a

nerd

and i want you to know from the bottom

of my heart that that won't be true

it'll be because you're an we

get a lot of information from the

biggest social media company on the

planet but we can learn even more from

its origins each lawsuit that mark

zuckerberg finds himself in teaches us

different things first the winklevoss

twins sue mark over stealing their idea

part of my attention you have the

minimum amount

the rest of my attention is back at the

offices of facebook where my colleagues

and i are doing things that no one in

this room including and especially your

clients are intellectually or creatively

capable of doing

eduardo severan sues mark over reducing

his stake as his partner feeling like

mark betrayed him or you could take away

that you shouldn't betray your friends

the real business lessons are a bit

harsher what you hated the most is that

they identified me as a co-founder of

facebook which i am you better lawyer up

cause i'm not coming back for 30

i'm coming back for everything

things can happen quickly and you need

to be present something eduardo didn't

account for and despite what the twins

say it's not always about who has the

idea it's also about the execution

number five moneyball the oakland a's

lose their star baseball players in the

lead up to the 2002 season so billy bean

the general manager desperately looks

for a fresh perspective the problem

we're trying to solve is that there are

rich teams and there are poor teams then

there's 50 feet of crap

and then there's us as a former player

he knows that selecting a team based on

gut instinct isn't enough that's when he

comes across peter brand a young

economics graduate who's boiled down

players value into data and numbers

people who run ball clubs they think in

terms of buying players

your goal shouldn't be to buy players

your goal should be to buy wins this

method upsets the old heads of the

industry but turns the team into a force

to be reckoned with what this film shows

us is that a fresh perspective and

innovation can change everything even if

everyone thinks it's a bad idea seeing

it through is the only way that you can

prove them wrong

[Applause]

number four the big short

mortgage-backed securities

subprime loans tranches

it's pretty confusing right does it make

you feel bored or stupid

well it's supposed to

the big short is an extraordinary story

of how a few groups predicted the

housing crash of 2007. but the main

focus of the movie is highlighting how

corrupt the financial market can be the

housing market is propped up on these

bad loans i'm

it's a time bomb and i want to short it

the biggest con was how banks were

giving out loans for unreliable

mortgages packaging them up and selling

them in the form of collateralized debt

obligations as we dive deeper into the

growing bubble of the impending

financial crisis we learn a dark lesson

in the money world there are systems in

play larger than we can comprehend so to

avoid disaster always pay attention to

the finer details 500 billion in housing

bonds sold last year alone the ratings

agencies the banks the

government you're saying they're all

asleep at the wheel yeah

number three the pursuit of happiness

don't ever let somebody tell you

you can't do something

not even me this biographical drama is

one of the most inspirational films to

have graced the big screen the reason

this heartwarming true story resonates

with so many is that will smith's

character could be any of us after

failing at multiple careers and

desperate to provide for his son he

decides to apply for an unpaid

internship as a stockbroker yeah i'll

give you a call tomorrow sometime where

what are you talking you hounded me for

this you stood here listen

there's no salary no i was not aware of

that my circumstances have changed some

and i need to be certain he's hit rock

bottom but from there the only way is up

perseverance is one of the most

important traits anyone can have it's

never too late to start true happiness

and success come from loving what you do

and having a reason to do it because
