Well, it's a formula with a complex method. But, of course, research was a component. Massive research. I knew every helix of every scrap of DNA in every company I bought. Papers stacked like the Himalayas in my office, and you know what? - The stocks went up. - By a hair. Sure, the stocks rose, but who wants to do all that work for a shitty little uptake? It's not the visceral kind of spike you want in short term holdings so... ...I dispensed with all the hard statistics and I went right to the rumor mill. So you bought your stocks based on what? The tom-toms beating in the street? Sure. Share prices aren't really based on how a company works. It's about how mass psychology works. So, if I found certain algorithms in the perception of the stock... Pattern recognition. That's your snake oil. Well, not everybody understands the patterns. And that gave me a little bit more of an uptake, but it's just a parlor trick. So then, I went on to door number three. Are you really implying that you have some sort of ultimate formula? Well, from 12,000 to 2.3 million in ten days. - I do have a formula, Mr. Pierce. - Delusions of grandeur. I don't have delusions of grandeur, I have an actual recipe for grandeur.

You have 19 messages. Four job offers, my bank raising my line of credit, a reporter from the New York Post. Really call me back, Mr. Morra. No one makes money that fast. This article's gonna get written with or without you. And finally, Kevin Doyle trying to sound casual. Eddie, I was talking you up to my boss and, well, the impossible happened, bud. We got you a meeting with Carl Van Loon. Carl Van Loon wants to meet you? - Apparently so. - But you're not in the finance game. What can you do for Carl Van Loon?

I don't know who you are, Eddie, or what you game is, but I'm sure of one thing. You don't work in my world. I'm up to my ass with investment guys and you don't have their half-terrified, half-cocky line of crap which is... ...not to say that I like yours any better. But you obviously pick your stocks in a way which I haven't seen before. Take a look at these companies and tell me what you think. - Right now? - Yeah. Take your time.

Why are you buying that? The CEO was just indicted. But not for the big fat defense contract he bribed his way into. That's still on. Should be announced next week. I was jacked in. Booted up. At the end of the week, my brokerage account contained over two million dollars.

Now, be warned. He's mercurial. One minute, your best friend, the next, you're a leper. And he needs direct answers. Anything tentative and you've lost him forever.
