Wall Street Warriors | Episode 3 Season 3 'The Strangle' [HD]

"The Strangle" is the 3rd episode of the lost Season 3 of Wall Street Warriors – a 10-part Docu-Reality Series that was shot on Wall Street during the meltdown that lead to The Great Recession. Episode 1 starts with rumors of an impending crisis... by episode 10 there are near riots outside the New York Stock Exchange.

"The Strangle"
In the chaos of the Chicago trading pits, Doug screams out orders to his clerks and shows how hand signals are used to communicate across the crowd. In New York, Beth starts her first day with Phil and Ken and is quickly overwhelmed by the amount of work they throw at her. Meanwhile, Kristi and her crew need to bring new critical software on-line today, but it's still not functioning properly and tempers start to flair. Later, Doug travels home to the suburbs to throw a birthday party for his kids.

DRAMATIS PERSONAE:

1.) THE FLOOR TRADERS:
DOUG (SPX Trader)
BEN (Volatility Trader)

The show captures the visceral thrill of trading hand-to-hand in the open outcry pits in Chicago. We profile how these two working-class guys became the business world’s least-likely tycoons. We follow them as they trade the ups-and-downs of the market with their own money. Colorful characters abound on all sides of these tight-knit but cut-throat environments. However, these masters of the free market may prove vulnerable as computers begin making the open-outcry obsolete.

THE ONLINE BROKERAGE HOUSE:
KRISTINE (CFO)
TONY (options trader)

This pioneering and edgy firm is the future of Wall Street. Cutting out the middle man and going right to a growing class of new private traders, Thinkorswim’s CFO, Kristi Ross, fights to keep the start-up growing and running smoothly while nearby Tony Battista trades his own money and shows people how they, too, can make it in the markets. However, when the credit crisis hit all the rules of the game change on them.

3.) THE HEDGE FUNDE: RICHARD

The man with the money, Rich Taglianetti is a jet-setter who puts together some
of the wealthiest clients on the planet with some of the best undiscovered
hedge fund managers. With a knack for finding great Wall Street talent, he's the
guy who makes the rich richer.

4.) THE STOCK BROKERS:
PHILIP & KEN

Philip and his brother, Ken, run their own brokerage firm located right on Wall
Street. With great style and attitude, they try to capture high profile
celebrity clients and keep them happy by growing their money in these
turbulent times. When the markets begin to crash, things don’t go quite as
planned.

Finally, I can learn the financial sign language on the boisterous noisy floor. Remind me the Cameron in Ferris Buller's Day Off. HAHAHA

[skeeter]

I used to wear my tie like that when I was 15 years old. I think that's great.

[MegaNjabulo]

I don't think i would handle being in the pit, I'd puke everytime

[CantThinkofaCoolOne]

Philip: I don't mean to bombard you... But I'll want you to do this, and this, and this.

[Suigeneris]

Kristi looks a bit like Resse Witherspoon! My gosh, she's gorgeous!

[infiltrr]

Thought the black guys seemed a little newbie-ish competing on who gets the numbers right, then they mentioned they go for NFL players as clients - everything became clear.

[randallbowers]

phillip brassard lost his broker license

[wiseguysmith]

Even in business, they have to rely on sports...

[danielmaia]

11:00 minute mark you see a possible meme titled HOW NOT TO DO A TIE

[TerryJulianLive]

Those black guys are embarrassing. The office is embarrassing. If you cant afford to be on wall street, then why not just be a bit outside the city and get a decent space. 7 people in one room. incredible.
