华尔街有这样一个笑话:两个学识资质相当的年轻人同时入行,二十年后一个身价千万,豪宅跑车娇妻,另一个却始终穷困潦倒,每天挤着地铁上下班。而两人之间唯一的区别却是,一个让客户炒股,另一个则自己入市。《监守自盗》中沈联涛的一句话简单总结了这一现象:A real engineer build bridge, a financial engineer build dreams.当暴富梦碎,投机人输得倾家荡产,而经纪人却赚得满盆钵金。就《抢钱大作战》电影本身而言并无必要长篇大论,不过这个欺诈故事的衍生意义却值得所有对投机致富心存侥幸的人深刻反省。
"There is no such thing as a no sale call. A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can't. Either way a sale is made."- Jim Young
