One Chicago trader made $2.5 million in five days. Another explained how a five-tick move could put you up $1 million or wipe out the same amount before lunch. That was the world a young Chicago worker walked into for the first time. Paper was flying. Thousands of traders...

When one young Chicago trader first heard people were making $50,000 to $100,000 in a day He told himself he would quit the moment he ever made that kind of money. Then he had his first five-figure day. He was back in the pit the next morning. “After a while, the money becomes just a way of keeping score.” By the late 1980s, a seat on the exchange could cost more than $300,000, and the trading floors were said to hold more millionaires per square inch than anywhere else on earth. But the footage shows what that money did to people. Traders carried live quote machines on dates, practiced screaming so they could be heard above the crowd, wore the same clothes after winning days, and came back even after they had already made enough to leave. The technology looks ancient now. The psychology does not. This rare documentary captures the exact moment trading stops being about money and turns into identity, competition, and addiction to the game. Bookmark it and watch as a lesson from the past Especially now that markets are once again rewarding speed, hype, and risk-taking.

Ryan Leaf says he made $15,000,000 from his $31,000,000 NFL rookie contract before losing it all “The headline says $31 million. The signing bonus was $11 million, which is still a lot of damn money. Three years in the contract was lower salaries” “I probably made $15 million out of all that. $7.5 million went to taxes. $3.8 million went to the ex-wife” “So I have $3.8 million, and I lived like I was still making $5 million a year. Had the big house, flew on private planes” “I just figured that the money would never run out. Didn't fully understand what that looked like, and before you know it, it's gone” “When you were making zero dollars a year, and you live like you're still making $5 million a year, it goes away. It was gone”

Asked why he made the decision to take out Nicolás Maduro, President Trump laid it out plainly. “It just was the right time to do it. We had to do it because it’s a war. We’re losing 300,000 people a year.” Trump then revealed new details from the raid. He said Maduro was holed up in what was essentially a fortress. “He was in a house that was more like a fortress than a house. It had steel doors, it had what they call a safety space where it’s, you know, solid steel all around.” Maduro tried to reach that reinforced area as the operation unfolded. “He didn’t get that space closed. He was trying to get into it, but he got bum rushed so fast that he didn’t get into that.” The U.S. military was prepared for anything. “We were prepared. We had, you know, massive blow torches and everything else that you need to get through that steel, but we didn’t need it.” “He didn’t make it to that area of the house.”

Mark Ruffalo says he filmed a 10-episode indie series for just $5 million. ​"I went out and did one. It was 10 episodes of independent television for $5 million.. That was less than what we made 'You Can Count on Me' for, or around the same." "It was a grind, and I haven't done that in a long time, but it was doable. And they were able to give the actors everything that Screen Actors Guild had asked for."

Kyle (aka JadeCap), the trader behind the world-record $2.5M single payout, drew a line between discipline and ego that most traders miss. "I think that's the male ego talking." He wasn't being harsh. He was being honest. Ryan, one of the 15 unprofitable traders in the room, felt like surrendering to his environment was a weakness. That a real trader should be the anchor. Unshakeable. Anywhere. Kyle understood the feeling. But he'd seen what happens when traders convince themselves the environment doesn't matter. The best traders he knows? Boring. Same meals every day. Same schedule. Same environment. Not because they lack ambition but because they understand what consistency actually costs. He didn't leave the country until he was 31. Friends were travelling through their 20s. He stayed locked in, because he knew what slipping out of routine did to his performance. Ryan pushed back. Said he should be the pillar. Shouldn't need the room. Kyle's answer was simple: that's not discipline. That's ego. Your diet, your sleep, your relationships; all of it bleeds into your PNL whether you recognise it or not. So ask yourself this: Are you disciplined enough to control your environment, or just too proud to admit it matters? Full Episode 👇

My cousins and my brother and I were exploring Coney Island, we saw the sights, hung out at the arcades and before we went back to the apartment we decided to go and get something to eat, we had some money on us but not much so we decided to see what we could get at one of the vendors. This was back in the early 90’s when most of them had dollar slices of pizza wherever we went. So we got 4 pieces of pizza, should have been $4 because that’s the price we were used to. The guy wanted to charge us $24 at $6 a slice. We argues with him because one of my cousins already took a bite being so hungry. But at the least we owed $4. We gave the other slices back and refused them but had to pay for the partially eaten one, it was embarrassing that an adult would try that on a bunch of kids. We told our uncle what happened and he went back and yelled at the vendor. He was familiar with them because he used to get slices all the time from the same guy and he never charged my uncle that price. I couldn’t imagine paying that exurban amount, like this guy who was being charged $54 for a hotdog by one of the vendors. At first he thought it was a typo and it was $5.40 but the vendor. Learned it up when he said no it was $54. Would you have paid that amount? I would have walked away, clearly he was trying to possibly scam a the man for looking like a tourist. Part of the experience when visiting a new area is the street food but it’s becoming more and more a chore avoiding places like this.

Selena Gomez reveals how Benny Blanco proposed to her. “I thought we had a shoot that day, so I had hair and makeup done, and I was just going about my regular day. I got into the car, and I was thinking to myself, ‘Where are we going?’ Because at that point, I felt like I knew all the studios I usually go to” “It was just me and my security guard, and he was laughing because he was just like, ‘I don’t know. It’s a new space’” “We got out. I walked in, and all of a sudden, I saw no one in the room. I looked at my assistant, and she just shut the door. And I was like, ‘Uhhh…’” “I think you envision all the things you would do and say when someone proposes to you. But it is actually the craziest feeling. It was really special” “He said the sweetest things, but I was so shocked that it just felt unreal for a long time. I’ve always dreamed of that moment, and he couldn’t have made it more perfect. It was one of the best days of my life, for sure”

Dave Chappelle says he walked away from $50,000,000 and didn’t even notice he was making $8M in a single year “I thought my career was over. I believed that for a few more years. So I went through the whole process of mourning the narrative I had in my head of being a big star. And at that time I was just back in Yellow Springs. Welcome back, superstar. I was like, oh man…” “Took me four years to get over it. But man, imagine how liberating that is, to believe that it’s over. And I got over it, and I just went back to work. I still needed money, and I could still fill rooms up, ’cause people liked the show. So I started back in comedy clubs” “One time somebody called me saying, Congratulations, you just made the Forbes list. And I’m like what? And I looked, because I don’t just count the money as it comes in. I looked, and that year… I’d made $8,000,000” “And I was tenth in the top ten. And then I looked at the other nine names, and I’m like, maybe I should come back”

Dylan Sprouse says Hollywood hired twins because productions could double a baby’s available working hours “My mom and my dad were thinking about their divorce. And then I think she very intelligently saw that there was this industry that was happening in California, which at that point in time, again, no social, no self tapes, these weren’t really a thing” “If you wanted to be an actor back in that day, you were basically hoofing it in California or you were doing theater in another part of the world” “Funny enough, I never remember being in the hundreds room, but there was like five of the same kids you saw all the time” “Nowadays casting agents can pick from a rolodex of people they think is exactly the person that they’re casting” “Back in the day you had to be like, ‘All right, today I’m a goblin.’ And you’re like, ‘Okay, well tomorrow I’m a sweetheart in my classroom.’ You really had to put on more of a mask” “We as kids when we got into the industry it was really a practical thing because kids can only work so many hours in child labor laws, but if you had the ‘same’ baby you could double your hours. So twins were hired a lot”

Dan Lanning explains the leadership trait that separated Nick Saban and Kirby Smart from everyone else: “Coach Saban was the definition of consistency. At times, you almost felt like you were dealing with a robot because of how methodical he was in his approach.” “He just didn’t get flustered.” “The sun was going to come up tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. in Tuscaloosa, and Nick Saban was going to be in the office at 7:30 eating the same snack before the same staff meeting.” “You got to see that level of consistency every single day.” “You also got to watch his decision-making process: ‘We’ve got to fix this. How are we going to make it better?’” “I always felt like he and Kirby Smart both didn’t care who you were. If you had some sort of value you could add to the program, they wanted to know what you knew.” “If you were a janitor in the corner of the room and had a blitz package that was going to be good against that team, he wanted to see it.” “It didn’t matter who the person was. If you could bring value to the organization, he wanted to tap into it.”

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

Sigourney Weaver on what she loved about her character in "Alien" (1979): "Interviewer: Ripley is now seen as this feminist action hero. Did you think about that or the politics of your representation at the time? Weaver: What I loved about Ripley in the first one, thanks to [producers] Walter [Hill] and David [Giler], and in the second one, thanks to Jim Cameron, was that I didn't really feel like a badass heroine ever. What I felt was like you or me in this situation, [wondering] what the f**k you were going to do. It was an everyman character that could be any of us. That was very unusual at the time that a character, a woman character, went through a whole film, doing difficult things by herself, a lot of the time, and didn't have some scene where she bursts into tears and cries in a corner for a while. Because I'm telling you, in those days, they really wanted women to be sympathetic. And that meant that either you had to be in a little skirt and run around, or you had to have these scenes where you cried and broke down because they thought if you didn't that you would seem unfeminine. So I was so lucky that I avoided all of that because I was doing science fiction, because I was in the future. And I was just playing this character who was put in this situation. And it was written like a man. It wasn't written like the way they wrote women in those days." ("At 28, Sigourney Weaver Was Thrust Into An Alien World", Zosha Millman, Bustle, 2021) P.S: On this day, 47 years ago, "Alien" (1979) had its limited release in the USA.

“My dad and I were the same age when he bought the house that I grew up in. $225,000 with the price of a 4 bedroom house with 3 bathrooms, a backyard with a pool, and a beautiful front yard — That house, when we moved out, was sold for a million dollars.” “Now, I don't know if you know how math works, but that $800,000 difference, in what universe could me at my age afford a house like that? Please explain. I make more money than my dad did at 25” Young Americans have no opportunity to afford a home or a family. This should be a national emergency

Wolff: Now Epstein’s explanation for why this friendship ended is as follows. In 2004, Epstein believed himself to be the high bidder on a piece of real estate in Palm Beach—a house. His bid was $36 million. He took his friend Trump around to see the house, to advise him on how to move the swimming pool. Trump thereupon went around Epstein’s back and bid $40 million for the house—and got the property. Epstein, who was well acquainted and in fact deeply involved with Trump’s scattered finances, understood that he didn’t have $40 million to pay for this house. Now, if that was the case, it was someone else’s $40 million. At the time, Epstein believed this to be the $40 million of a Russian oligarch by the name of Rybolovlev. Less than two years later, this same house that Trump had bought for $40 million was sold for $95 million—and it was in fact sold to Mr. Rybolovlev. This is all a red flag of money laundering. And what Epstein did—and he was furious about losing this house—I mean, there’s something about these guys, these men, that nothing rouses them so much as a real estate betrayal. Epstein, after this—the sale of this house, after Trump went around his back, got this house—Epstein began to threaten with lawsuits, with going to the press and saying that Trump was a frontman for a money laundering deal. Trump panics at this point, and Epstein believed—that it was Trump who went to the police and, as Epstein said, dropped the dime on him. That is to say, informed the police of what was going on. And an investigation began, and all of Epstein’s legal problems for the next 15 years began to unfold. This story about this piece of real estate and their falling out was first published in June 2019. It’s published actually in my book Siege, the second book I had written about the Trump White House. Epstein had recounted this story to me. I put it in this book. Epstein, at that moment, was in Paris. He read the book. He called me with some alarm, and he said he was afraid that he might have said too much. Three weeks later, he returned to the United States from Paris and was promptly arrested on the tarmac of Teterboro Airport in New Jersey when his plane landed.

This woman arrived well before closing, she was trying to pick out the perfect game for a gift. She made her choice just in time for closing and was already waiting in line. Relieved she was excited about getting the perfect gift. She was next in line at the register, right before she was able to be rung up, the cashier declared that the store was closed and refused to ring her out. Normally in most stores they finish the line and close the registers, but this guy was by himself and decided once the store was closed, he wasn’t going to help anyone else, if you were that woman what else could you do, would you leave and try to find another store that had what you needed or would you be persistent that they ring you out?

One distinct memory I have from playing games in the 80s was that every once in a while I would stumble across a game that looked epic but I had exactly zero clue what to do. Wizball was such a game. Looked and sounded pretty cool, but... "where to go, what to do, and what's the goal here?" - something along those lines went through my mind at the time. I stuck with it an eventually (much later) figured it out. Do you remember a game that you played but didn't really know what the goal was or how to get there?

this was 5 months ago. he started with absolutely zero knowledge on how to read the markets couldn't tell you what a fair value gap was. couldn't tell you what liquidity meant. didn't know what a prop firm was his PnL since then is $200k+ started working with me 1-on-1 and learned the same system i use every single day. same session profiling. same gap entries. same rules you'll definitely be seeing more of him in the future with some crazy payouts nothing fancy. just built properly. this is the part most people miss: it’s not an information problem it’s a structure problem you can watch 1000 hours of contentand still not be able to execute when it matters because nothing is actually built around how you trade that’s what I do. not signals not a course I build traders that don’t need me anymore. most of you don’t need more information you need your execution fixed changing the space person by person. that's why i do this fuck the toxic space, I'm here to change lives

Iman Shumpert on getting traded from the Knicks to play with LeBron James and the Cavaliers: “In New York, you felt like they love the Knicks in Cleveland. You knew you play with LeBron. I wish I could sugarcoat it. I can’t. It’s that simple. It’s not even a strict program because Bron, to his point, to give him credit to his point he made the other night, he is a 41 year old kid. They say you act exactly how you act when they handed you money. You could tell LeBron got paid at 17. It’s the reason that he that cold because he think like a child. Like, when you was 17, I’m sure you probably was like, it’s like before you get to college and they break you where it’s like that creative mindset where you like, but why coach? We could just do this. And it’s like the coach explain it to you and then you stop like even questioning the coach. You like, let me just go out here and do what I’m supposed to do, handle my business, make sure we win, and then boom, I want to climb up the ranks. I don’t want them looking at me like that. Bron went at 17 while he was still curious.” (Via Out The Mud Podcast)

Matt Damon says “The Town” made a fortune and was later relicensed for $35 million, but Ben Affleck still didn’t make $1 million despite writing, directing and starring in the film because he was on a flat salary Q: “Do you know what Good Will Hunting has grossed in its time?” Matt Damon: “When it came out, I think it was like 220-something in the theater.” “Actually, with our studio, that’s one of the things we really fight for… reversion rights.” “Ben called me a couple years ago and he goes, ‘You know, The Town just got relicensed for 35 million bucks.’” “Which just means that he made a great movie and people are still watching it.” “At the time, that movie made a fortune. It did all this stuff.” “But he was on a flat salary.” “I don’t even think he made a million bucks for that movie.” “And he wrote it, directed it, starred in it.” “It was one of those things.” “Our view was, look, if you do something like that as one of the real contributors to it, then if there’s money kind of in perpetuity, then you should be a part of that.”
