1:07:06
Bastard!
1:07:08
Wakey-wakey!
1:07:10
- What's the action, mate?
- You tell me.
1:07:12
The market's up and down
like a tart's knickers.
1:07:15
- l think the worst is over.
- Who knows? You could be right.
1:07:18
Well, that's my hunch anyway.
1:07:20
Listen, l was out last night with that Loy.
1:07:23
You know, that journo from Reuters.
1:07:25
He's convinced
there's no mystery customer.
1:07:27
He reckons it's you. He thinks
you're trading on your own account.
1:07:31
Without the bank's approval.
1:07:35
Now, you're not that crazy, are you?
1:07:37
What do you think?
1:07:39
Who, then? Beaumarchais?
l thought he'd given you the elbow.
1:07:42
- l can't tell you.
- Come on. lt's me, Danny Boy!
1:07:45
l could tell you... but l'd
have to shoot you afterwards.
1:07:51
l know one thing.
lf Customer X didn't exist,...
1:07:54
..you'd have to invent him.
1:07:58
45 million?
You've already had 100 this week.
1:08:01
Everybody's had an advance margin call
from SlMEX on their client positions.
1:08:05
They're worried about stability
with these big movements.
1:08:08
lt's an emergency measure(?)
1:08:11
lsn't everybody squealing out there?
1:08:13
No, we'll get it back
when the market calms down.
1:08:17
Nick, when are you gonna
reduce these positions?
1:08:20
The bean counters are freakin' out!
1:08:22
Ron! Didn't know you were there.
1:08:25
For fuck's sake, we've had
the Bank of lnternational Settlements...
1:08:28
..asking if Barings can
meet its margin payments!
1:08:31
- lt is not good for the image!
- l hear you, Ron. lt's a tight market.
1:08:34
Yeah, well, you've really gotta try.
1:08:37
Take a hit on it if you have to.
1:08:39
l know Norris is gonna want to discuss it
with you when he's out there next week.
1:08:43
Norris?
1:08:45
- l didn't know he was coming.
- Yeah, with Tony Hawes.
1:08:48
They want to check the numbers. lron out
these funding problems once and for all!
1:08:54
(thunder)
1:08:57
There was no way l could reduce my
positions without the market collapsing.
