FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: Keller Zabel's

loss today was the worst in over a year.

And this big drop may be

just the beginning

of a much deeper correction.

It is an amazing story.

Keller Zabel stock is getting hammered.

ROBBY ON PHONE:
How is it you've

never been more wrong in your life

than right now?

You're losing all your money right now.

I see it, it's going down.

Somebody is betting big money

that Zabel's stock is about to collapse.

You wanna owe?

This stock's about to lose

its bar mitzvah, Jake.

Take the haircut and sell.

You're on a 50% margin, buddy.

I can still get you out now

at a total loss, but at least you won't owe.

... threatening the firm 's liquidity.

In one incredible week, shares of KZI

are down 52%.

STAN:
I know where the stock is.

I have it in front of me.

What you got to do right now is relax,

take a deep breath.

Tell your banks not to sell the stock.

The stock is overreacting right now and...

Hey, what financial stock isn't, right?

Listen, three months from now

we're going to look back on this and laugh.

You're angry? I'm angry.

Okay! We're okay.

- Relax.

- AUDREY:
Relax.

Jesus Christ.

ROBBY:
I've known you

your whole life, Jake.

And I know when you're lying to yourself.

Robby, listen to me.

Keller Zabel's been around a long time.

All right? It's one of the great names

in investment banking.

A month, a year, it doesn't matter.

We'll be back to 65/70, and I'll be fine.

You just gotta hold it, okay?

You're gonna owe, you know.

Not just the buck, but the margin, too.

We're talking another...

Tell me.

(EXHALES) You don't want

to hear this today.

Robby.

How much?

At least another half a buck.

Give me the okay to sell, buddy.

Right now.

Sell. Sell!

Robby, I got to call you later.

Have you seen Zabel?

Annica, where's Lou?

Not in. Not answering.

Not happy.

Hey.

Lou.

Hey, Lou. How's your day going, huh?

I told you. Good day, I'm okay.

Bad day, I'm okay.

Stop bugging me on my feelings.

They're irrelevant.

I wanted to come see you face to face

and talk about these rumors, you know.

Because it's getting crazy.

It's out of control now.

I'm hearing it from all ends.

Our world is all bullshit.

Some TV bubblehead, he gets up there

like he knows something.

He sells fear, panic.

And morons, they love it.

They want it to end because it sells.

There's no limits anymore.

Muriel knows how to walk this thing.

It's her damn dog.

Lou, I can help. I can get

to the bottom of these derivatives.

You just got to tell me.

There's so much you don't know, Jacob.

What? What about the bonus thing?

Why now?

Because I know you.

You're holding out for something better.
