Lots of stuff in Trading Places, including insider trading, is illegal.
(He knows it will because he’s read the report.)īasically, he buys a lot of orange juice for very cheap, and sell it for a lot of money. TRADING PLACES tells the story of greedy, wealthy Wall Street brothers Mortimer and Randolph (Ralph Bellamy) Duke, who bet on whether environment or heredity defines a man.The pawns in their game are smart-mouthed street hustler Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) and affluent investment executive Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd). THE CO-STARS WEREN'T FAMILIAR WITH EACH OTHERS' WORK. Essentially he is making a bet that the price will fall. Two years after Trading Places, Ameche starred in Cocoon (1985) and won an Oscar for his efforts. Once the price gets to a high point, and the whole market thinks the price will only go up, Aykroyd calls out a promise to sell OJ at that high price in the future. The so-called eternal question of nature versus nurture is the force that drives John Landis’ Christmas comedy Trading Places, which celebrates its 35th birthday this year. Moving to the big scene, the Duke brothers, through their trader, starts buying OJ futures. They do this because they know their enemies, the Duke brothers, will trade on the phony report. Aykroyd and Murphy steal a report that will cause the price of orange juice to fall, and replace it with a report that says OJ prices will rise. In Trading Places, Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd sell high and then buy low. Investors make money when they buy low and sell high. How did Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy win at the end of Trading Places?
