The stock market is a wide and varied field that is full of techniques and secrets to master perfectly. For anyone who wants to know more, it is often complicated to start alone. Here are three master films of the discipline that will allow you to put a foot in the bath while enjoying a moment of relaxation.
The Wolf of Wall Street
Inspired by a true story, The Wolf of Wall Street chronicles the rise of a young stockbroker. Jordan Belfort, played in the film by the incredible Leonardo DiCaprio, will be a dazzling success thanks to the knowledge he will acquire during his employment as a scholar.
Between fame, fortune and embezzlement of the 1980s, you can discover in this film the daily life of a scholarship holder. Although becoming one of the best brokers in the world is not your primary goal, you will be able to appreciate the quality of the film that became the biggest success of American director Martin Scorsese.
The language of the purse is also inserted into the lexical field of the film, allowing you to begin to accustom your ear to this new world you want to discover. Thus, a shareholder, a listing, a crash, a CFD broker… These terms will no longer hold any secrets for you.
Sugar
Dive back into old films, more precisely in 1978, while appreciating the acting qualities of Frenchy Gérard Depardieu. He plays here a whimsical and unscrupulous broker, who will interfere in the life of Adrien Courtois (played by Jean Carmet), a small saver who loses all the inheritance of his wife.
Le Sucre recounts a case of fraud based on the speculative bubble concerning the price of sugar in the 1970s. Through many adventures, the two men, yet so different, will then become real accomplices. Together, they will overcome the economic crisis. You will be able to discover many techniques to succeed in raising the value of an action, but also a life lesson.
Crash
The director Fabrice Généstal offers us here a film full of twists and turns. The idea came to him following an article published in the newspaper Le Monde concerning the LCTM (Long Term Capital Magagement) affair, which, in 1998, had threatened the balance of the financial system.
Erwan, the main character of the film played by Gilles Lellouche, is a trader in a major New York bank. He bets a lot, plays and wins regularly. However, greedy for fame and fortune, the latter always wants more. Thanks to an article devoted to climatology in a scientific journal, he will be convinced of a correlation between climatic variations and stock market flow. He then convinced Sybille, the author of the article, to create a "hedge fund". Krach will allow you to discover a very precise and complex vocabulary concerning the language of the stock market.
Three films with radically opposite styles but which will allow you to take your first steps in the rich universe of the stock market. The list is obviously non-exhaustive and many other works will allow you to learn more about this field. How about you? Which film taught you the most about the stock market?
