*Realty Check. Don't Take Life For Granted. A YouTube user comment from a YouTube video titled "Locked Up - Life of men Living in Solitary Confinement." The video was removed.

*Commodities Trading Summarized. Quotes from the movie Trading Places.


Randolph Duke: We are commodities brokers, William. Now, what are commodities? Commodities are agricultural products--like coffee that you had for breakfast--wheat, which is used to make bread--pork bellies, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. . . . And then there are other commodities, like frozen orange juice--and gold. Though, of course, gold doesn't grow on trees like oranges. . . . Now, some of our clients are speculating that the price of gold will rise in the future. And we have other clients who are speculating that the price of gold will fall. They place their orders with us, and we buy or sell their gold for them. . . . The good part . . . no matter whether our clients make money or lose money, Duke & Duke get the commissions.
Billy Ray Valentine: Sounds to me like you guys a couple of bookies.


Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high. Fear? That's the other guy's problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the absolute carnage you are about to witness. Super Bowl, World Series--they don't know what pressure is. In this building, it's either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners. One minute you're up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me? --Louis Winthorpe III telling Billy Ray Valentine both walking to the New York Commodities Exchange
