The Hustler, from Jim Sogi
The Hustler with Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason has many good lessons for traders.
George Scott tells Fast Eddie: "You're a born loser". He always has a ready excuse for losing. Despite his talent, he lacks character.
Winning is defined solely, in Scott's book, by the amount of money one takes home at the end of the day.
Winning can be hard for some to accept, as well as the price for success.
What is the price of success? Presumably, Fast Eddie gains character by the end of the movie, and wins…but does he, in the long run.
