PIERCE
(CONTEMPTUOUSLY)
Pattern recognition? So that's your
snake-oil? Look, if there's one
thing we all understand, it's
understanding itself --that's how
the business works...
(SCOFFING)
Pattern recognition. Please.
EDDIE
(POINTEDLY)
Of course, not everyone can
understand the patterns.
Kevin sucks in his breath. Pierce is annoyed. Van Loon is
mildly amused, but not necessarily impressed. Eddie
continues with his unstoppable, MDT-fueled insights:
EDDIE (CONT'D)
Look, there's no time for human
judgement anymore. You see a
chance, you blink, and it's gone.
We entered the age of
decentralized, online decision-
making, with the decisions being
made by hundreds of millions of
individual investors around the
world, people who don't even know
each other -- making a killing in
less time than it takes to sneeze.
PIERCE
Until they weren't.
EDDIE
Same rules, even in a panic. It's
not understanding how companies
work. It's understanding how mass
psychology works.
PIERCE
(SCOFFING)
And you have a formula.
KEVIN
(MEDIATING)
Well, from 12 thousand to two point
eight million in ten days--
EDDIE
Yes. I do have a formula, Mr.
Pierce.
PIERCE
(SNORTING)
Delusions of grandeur.
EDDIE
I don't have delusions of grandeur.
A beat, as we PUSH IN on Eddie's face.
EDDIE (CONT'D)
I have an actual recipe for
grandeur.
Kevin stares in horror. Van Loon still says nothing.
The idle close for NVDA 0.00%↑ was Friday tight.
