Rogue Trader
28th January 2008
There will be lots of coverage this week of the activities of the rogue trader at Societe Generale. Now could be an ideal time to have a look at the 1999 film Rogue Trader starring Ewan McGregor and Anna Friel! This is a lively and pacy film surrounding the trading activities of Nick Leeson, the trader who helped to bring down the venerable Baring’s Bank in 1995. This trailer is a good taster and many of the themes in the film will be eerily familiar in the current day!
I checked on Amazon last night and the DVD of the film is available for £4.97 - a bargain!
