So ‘Trading Places’ is Basically Reddit vs the Suits

Of course. It all makes sense now. The methods have changed. It’s no longer a bunch of guys hyped up on adrenaline and cocaine waving paper and pencils at each other and screaming. It’s now done online. But the basic principles are the same. The Dukes Brothers are the hedge funds.They were selling short. Louis and Billy Ray are r/WallStreetBets. And Orange Juice Futures are Game Stop, Nokia and AMC.
