In case there was any doubt as to whether or not Shia LaBeouf is a big boy trader now, the Money Never Sleeps star has confirmed that he is indeed the market moving BSD you imagined. Also, he apparently knows “everything” there is to know about this shit, so if anyone’s looking for a little guidance, be it hot insider trading tips or which type of estrogen pills will get your tits looking just right, feel free to give him a buzz. (Once he passes the Level 1 CFA exam in December, which our sources at the institute tell us he’s hard at working studying for, it won’t even be fair. Potential investors: act quickly and he’ll trim his fees for the first $2bn in AUM with an 8-year lockup.)
The actor…says he knew nothing about the financial world when he was first cast by Oliver Stone, so he walked into a brokerage firm and asked for help — and soon got so hooked, it has become the biggest part of his life.
The actor says he used $20,000 to study the markets. “As of this morning, that’s $297,000,” he said.
“I manage my own portfolio. I check through the day, read the daily Wall Street Journal, trade personally on my cellphone, text people throughout the day, carry my laptop on the set, have Bloomberg on speed-dial. I now have lots of friends in lots of places.”
And the Transformers star is not alone — his costar Josh Brolin has also become hooked on trading.
“Shia and Josh Brolin finish their scenes, then talk market all day,” said director Stone. “I now go to Shia to ask, ‘What’s happening in the market?’ He started on it with this film and now knows everything.”
e*trade, no question.
I’m so good Warren Buffet calls me for investment ideas. “Too Big to Fail” was the title of a book about my romantic tool. The UK and US governments call me when they need bridge loans. I inventeds the word tranche and mezzinene for certain body parts of mine but they are now used in global finance. I am the “IT” in MIT.

wtf is “bloomberg on speed dial”? He couldn’t SPDL if i gave him .
A little OT but has anyone else noticed that the markets have started trading about an hour earlier than they are supposed to since Monday??

when can we expect cramer to have him anointed?

“I manage my own portfolio. I check through the day, read the daily Wall Street Journal, trade personally on my cellphone…” Well, it sounds like LaPoof can start his own hedge fund now. He’s legit.
That image makes me wonder if one of the Noel girls misplaced her expensive motorcycle helmet.
I’m not impressed.
@3 i’d also like to know.

$20,000 to $297,000 in a short period of time? That sounds logical to us.

Why is Stone so giddy about this? These movies are about Wall Street being BAD. With some re-writes, this is going to be a fairy tale about a young boy with a hormonal imbalance striking it big making market bets and finally getting the acceptance the bullies in the schoolyard never gave him playing kickball.

again I ask: WTF IS ‘BLOOMBERG ON SPEED-DIAL’?
There is a coincidence…SL does not have blackened eyes and a broken nose and I have not been within 10 feet of him. Someone kill him now before the junkets and trailers. Hey SL, here is your chance to be this years Heath Ledger.
I’ll seed that boy.

@ 20, he has MICHAEL Bloomberg on speed dial
Prediction.
Shia loses all profit…and then total combined earnings from all previous movies by averaging down.
you heard it here first.
Odds of Shia being able to legitimately pass CFA level 1? I’ll throw out 200:1.
Will this be the first case of MTV’s True Life: I’m addicted to trading?
Also, my 12 year old sister texts people throughout the day, what does that have to do with anything?
Alas, who is his auditor?
Will he end up just like Lenny but gayer?
…All this and more, soon to be answered by …
so he put up 20k with a direct access broker, they gave him 300k leverage, and he has lost 3 grand day trading so far, that is what you are trying to tell me?
“The actor says he used $20,000 to study the markets. “As of this morning, that’s $297,000,” he said.”
what he failed to mention was that he deposited $300,000 last week…

My bad. Weak attempt at a droll play on Chaz’s incessant self-promotion today. Penalty box for me.
I’ll give him an investment if he’ll hook me up with Megan Fox. Won’t even care when he loses it all.
Edward Jones. Fo’ sho’.
My guess is he bought $297,000 in VUL death benefit with a 20K premium. Simple.

@43 don’t forget us ex-Amway reps.
Seriously – That Helmet — WTF??? Who wears that thing outside of Rick Moranis in SpaceBalls??
I built my business like a true entrepreneur. I started with $20k, now worth close to $300k following the Shia sales ju jitsu strategy. If I can do it, so can you!

way to go 46. Amway always touches a raw nerve – they’re the scientologists of the sales industry.

SLB – “Hey Josh, How ’bout that Dow today- huh?”.
JB – ‘What did it do.”
SLB- “It was up”
JB- “Really? How much?”
SLB – “like 35 points.”
JB- “How did Citi do?”
SLB- “Down .76″
JB – “Bummer”
SLB – “Yeah – bummer”
Does he even meet the college requirement for the CFA program ?
said director Stone. “I now go to Shia to ask, ‘What’s happening in the market?’ He started on it with this film and now knows everything.”
OS – Shia – what is it again? Buy what and Sell what???
SLB – “Buy low and sell high, Ollie – Buy low and sell high.”
OS – “Genius man, Genius.”
Scratch that. Shia did not attend college and clearly does not have the requisite four years experience.
How did he enroll in the CFA program ?
He is a Liar !
This will end in gerbils nibbling polyps.
I need more Ameriprise…and cow bell
Great little irony that the main character of a movie about rampant speculation, amongst other things, is now admittedly addicted to rampant speculation.
@58 – Elvis was a like a CIA dude for Nixon. Celebrity as huge as Elvis’ and Shia’s opens doors, Man… wake up!
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T!!!!!
Ann Coulter is more of a man than Shia LeBeouf.
wow this movie is going to be sooo bad. the only thing that would save it is megan fox naked
65 Megan Fox naked? Awesome dude! [lighting water pipe]
@65 she’s not even in the movie, dumb fuck.
67 i know man, but what if… see what i’m sayin man?
@65 Agreed
@4 FTW…great stuff.
If I can get Shia LeDouche hired by one of the banks as a legit trader no one will want to work on Wall St! I can finally crush capitalism haha!!
-Oliver Stone
@65 Hey what if Godzilla was in this movie. The old one with Raymond Burr. That’d be cool huh!
He should read my book. This won’t end well.
- Nassim Taleb
@67 calm down shia don’t get defensive. you know she was the only reason anyone watched ur shitty robot movie anyway
@72 Godzilla naked?
Shia turned $20,000 in Transformer money into a fully audited pre-tax sum of $297,000.
I wonder how long it’s going to be until Wall Street Warriors is knocking down his door. Maybe he could team up with those SNDK guys.
@59 – gross!
@75 Godzilla is always naked.
@78 Why can’t Megan Fox be more like Godzilla?

@79 Ohh fuckin’ A man!

I heard someone on the set said he looked like a young Kirk Cameron, so he put $20k into KIRK and now has a fully-audited pre-tax $297k.

@85, you saying the Gay Mafia gay Shia a head start?
@85, you saying the Gay Mafia gave Shia a head start?
@83/NS- My friend was also sent to the Florida Isles!!!!1 Did you ever get to go there?!?
Sounds like hype for the movie and as others have noted, total b.s.
I lost about $6000 in “Colon-Glow” intestinal products MLM. I achieved the “Brown Star” award in my first year and was on my way toward a “Winds of Change” profit recognition until the Kudlow accident killed the program. At least he’s OK and still opining on CNBC.
“SHIA LaBeouf has confirmed reports he’s started trading stocks and shares.”
Umm, stocks AND shares??? Mkay… go back to bed now.
93 Yea, but anybody that has Bloomberg on speed dial just has to be a player.
OMG. He’s so cute and he has BBG. I wonder if he likes yachting?
Alicia Wetmore.
Why are they making a movie about Timmy Sikes?
How did it come to this?
By the “Oliver Stone Law of Unintended Consequences,” Shia’s daytrading addicktion will result in the bulk of popular Hollywood doing the same. Thus, not only with formerly semi-intelligent kids who may have gone on to do something remotely productive with their lives, but everyone, will want to work on Wall Street.
This will, as @76 has alluded, will result in an influx of the “SNDK” guys (and even girls!) from Wall Street Warriors, driving Stone to finally make his Magnus Opus, “Wall Street 3: Oliver Stone Swandives from the NYSE Balcony”
Two words: Capital Gains.
Trust me, he doesn’t know about them…
@1, e*trade? How about g*trade?
TGFD is with 11,24,28 & others…
$20K into $297K in a few months/weeks? He’s full of shit for sure.
After all, shitslinging is to be expected from someone with a name like his.
In Yiddish, Shia means “Shit”.
In French, LaBeouf means “The Beef”.
Therefore Shit The Beef is lying out his ass.
Q.E.D.
The Guy from Delaware
Shia wants to be a trader, how about working on the acting thing first bro.
Why is it that drama students, regardless of their age, think they know everything? They should stick to the stage and Scientology.
The actor says he used $20,000 to study the markets. “As of this morning, that’s $297,000,” he said.
Umm, this article was edited a bit: Should read
The actor says he used $20,000 to study the markets. Then added another 20,000, then 500,000, then 250,00, got bitch slapped by Michael Bay. “As of this morning, that’s $297,000,” he said.
@5 Nails and Shia butt fucking on the sunset strip
This kid sucks we want GG.
why ruin a great movie with the lame sequel?
@4 “an hour later”
Still nice.

Thank you, for this very good written content, was a great distraction for reading through for me considering that i simply just broke up along with my guy cause i realized that this prick shared very personal shots of me at a some stupid webpage called Used girlfriend Images .

Howdy! I just noticed your web page: Which Brokerage Firm Is Responsible For Unleashing Shia LaBeouf On The Markets?

It looks as though someone loved your site so much they decided to bookmark it. I’ll certainly be returning here more often.
Wonderful post but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Bless you!
I run a grilling blog where I share my tasty recipes and tricks and tips that I know from my years of preparing food. I try actually hard to improve my blog a minimum of thrice a week. I’ve had the blog for around 90 days, which I suppose is a fairly good amount of time. Still, my blog doesn’t get lots of hits . When I look for my posts on Google, it is certainly hard for me to uncover them. I found your blog on the very first page of Bing when i looked for Which Brokerage Firm Is Responsible For Unleashing Shia LaBeouf On The Markets? Dealbreaker: Wall Street Insider – Financial News, Headlines, Commentary and Analysis – Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Banks, for this reason i think you must be a professional, care to share some guidance with me?

Thanks for the something totally new you have unveiled in your article. One thing I’d like to comment on is that FSBO relationships are built with time. By bringing out yourself to owners the first saturday and sunday their FSBO will be announced, prior to a masses get started calling on Wednesday, you make a good network. By mailing them tools, educational materials, free accounts, and forms, you become the ally. If you take a personal desire for them and their predicament, you build a solid network that, many times, pays off if the owners decide to go with a realtor they know as well as trust – preferably you actually.
