4. Boiler Room – a kid who dropped out of college and gets a job working as a stockbroker and finds out that the brokerage firm he’s working for is basically scamming people by running what we call a pump-and-dump scheme.
   
5. Moneyball – is one of the best investing Allegory movies we’ve ever seen.
   
6. Pursuit of Happiness – real-life salesman Chris Gardner lives in San Francisco in 1981 and is selling a medical machine. It’s not going very well. His wife’s very upset with him about his decision to spend their life savings on like 10 of these machines.
