Watch the videos through the link below.  It's from the movie "Trading Places" and near the end of the movie there is a great illustration of trading in the futures markets captured in this 7 minute video.  If you've seen this before, really think about what is going on.  If you haven't seen it before, you may have to watch a couple of times.

After watching, respond with at least a paragraph on what you think is going on.  Talk about whether the good guys (Dan Akroyd, Eddie Murphy) took a long or short position and whether the bad guys (the old men) took a long or short position when trading began.  Talk also about why you think they took their respective positions.  Judging by the prices during trading, estimate the profit the good guys made (in cents/pound).
