FLOORED: A hard hitting look inside the Chicago trading pits

If you're sitting at home wondering what to do until Stone releases part deux of his cult classic, Wall Street (or until the SEC launches a media circus by investigating Shia Labeouf), you're just a click away from an entertaining and informative look at how it really goes down in the trenches, in FLOORED:

A world that’s more riot than profession, the trading floors of Chicago are a place where gambling your family’s mortgage is all in a day’s work. Now, when markets are unhinged, FLOORED offers a unique window to this lesser-known world of finance. Traders may not have degrees, but they’ve got guts, and penchant for excess. But like many aspects of our economy, technology is changing their business, and these eccentric pit denizens aren’t the type to take kindly to new tricks.

Computerized trading may take the emotion out of the job, but it may also take these old-timers out- they are dinosaurs in a young man’s game.

At a time when millions have lost fortunes in the fickle stock market and fear abounds about the faltering financial system, FLOORED is a gripping, honest look behind the curtain of the trading floor that few have ever seen.
