The Murky world of stock trading

I enjoyed an evening out with a friend recently and we decided on a film and Chinese after. Eventually after some deliberation we decided on seeing Side effects; [if you are planning on seeing it its well worth a watch] The film starts to unfold and reveals a very cunning plot about manipulating the stock [...] More
