Billy Ray Valentine: It's Christmas time. Everybody's uptight... Okay, pork belly prices have been dropping all morning. So everybody's waiting for them to hit rock bottom so they can buy cheap. The people with pork belly contracts are thinking, "Hey, we're losing all our money and Christmas is coming. I won't be able to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu grip. And my wife won't make love to me 'cause I ain't got no money." They're panicking, screaming, "Sell, sell." They don't want to lose all their money. They are panicking right now. I can feel it. Look at them.

Louis Winthorpe III: Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Buy low, sell high. Fear? That's the other guy's problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the unlimited carnage you are about to witness. Superbowl, World Series - they don't know what pressure is. In this building, it's either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners. One moment you're up half a mil in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me?
