Limitless (2011, 105 min directed by Neil Burger)
Eddie: Well, it's a formula|with a complex method.
But, of course, research was|a component. Massive research.
I knew every helix of every scrap of DNA|in every company I bought.
Papers stacked like the Himalayas|in my office, and you know what?
Phil: The stocks went up.
E.: By a hair.
E.: Sure, the stocks rose, but who wants to do all that work for a shitty little uptake?
It's not the visceral kind of spike|you want in short term holdings so...
I dispensed with all the hard statistics and I went right to the rumor mill.
P.: So you bought your stocks based on what?The tom-toms beating in the street?
E.: Sure. Share prices aren't really|based on how a company works.
It's about|how mass psychology works.
So, if I found certain algorithms|in the perception of the stock...
P.: Pattern recognition.|That's your snake oil.
E.: Well, not everybody|understands the patterns.
And that gave me a little bit more of|an uptake, but it's just a parlor trick.
So then, I went on|to door number three.
P.: Are you really implying that you have|some sort of ultimate formula?
