Wall Street Warriors
Season 3 Episode 6-10
Episode 6 Season 3 "Between the Trades"
Phil is confronted by a penny stock-pusher who berates Phil for not buying his stock when it was cheep. Phil's not falling for his sales ploy and turns the tables on him by threatening to short his tiny stock into oblivion.
On the trading floor, Doug gives us a lesson in lip reading. A critical skill in the packed futures pit where the noise can be so deafening that you can miss a trade without it.
Next, Kristi gives us the story of how she moved from a small Wisconsin town to the big city of Chicago and how she fell in love with Wall Street.
Rich, in the Hamptons, sees his chance to get in the oil bubble slipping away and he makes a desperate call to get in on a Canadian oil deal.
Later, in the outcry pit, we explore the wacky world of trader jackets. The loud colors aren't about style - they're about standing out in a large crowd, which can translate directly into money.
In the end, we follow Phil home to have dinner with his family and we learn something about what makes this warrior of Wall Street tick.


Episode 7 Season 3 "The Meltdown"
Markets are crashing, credit is drying up, panic sweeps over Wall Street and the world as major investment banks fail. We witness history as Tony finds himself caught in a near-riot when the government bailout causes angry crowds to turn their wrath on the financial district. In a nearby building, Phil and Ken are watching from above and feel trapped as the protestors surround the New York Stock Exchange. Meanwhile, in midtown, Hedge Funds are folding everywhere and Rich estimates 60% are going to go out of business


Episode 8 Season 3 "The Fallout"
Are we going into another depression? This is the great question on the trading floor as the market reaches new lows.
In the panic stricken pits, Doug just tries to survive to trade another day without making any fatal mistakes. Later, he discusses the meaning of the election on the American economy with his trading buddies.
Phil and his staff find themselves being blamed by their clients for the losses they are incurring. Moral is at an all-time low and Phil has to brow-beat his staff to keep fighting.
At the same time, Kristi and her staff at the online brokerage house are also dealing with frightened investors who are desperate for advice on what to do in this bear market. There is only so much Kristi and the staff can do and the trade desk turns from trading to counseling their shell-shocked clientele.
Rich Tag gets in a shouting argument with the beautiful venture capitalist from Russia, Natalia. She thinks Rich should send investment dollars into Gazprom, Russia's oil giant, Rich thinks this is insane as Russia is acting belligerently toward the USA.
Later, Phil and Terek stay up late watching the election returns on TV.
Also in this episode, the history of Chicago and finance is explored and traders argue over the character differences between New York to Chicago.
Meanwhile, it's the 2008 election day and our characters wait to see who is going to win the presidency.

Tony is seriously concerned over the fate of his trading account as 10 years of gains disappear in the market. He's so worried that his wife talks him into seeing a clairvoyant to get some advice about the future.
Phil, meanwhile, is visiting a boxing gym where he tries to convince a few boxing champions to be his clients. It isn't long before he's thrown into the ring to test his metal.
Next, Rich Tag interviews the head of a hedge fund that has an ingenious plan to profit from companies with bad patents. He likes the idea so much he takes it immediately to one of his wealthy investors, Mr. Fox. Fox gives him $10 million on the spot.
In the open outcry pits, Doug talks about pit culture. We explore how, like high school, clicks develop; there are traders Doug likes and traders he can't stand. Also, we learn about all the wild pranks that go on on the floor and how the Chicago baseball rivalry between the Sox and the Cubs can divide the pit into opposing groups



Episode 10 Season 3 "The Final Bell"
Desperation racks the minds of the floor traders as the markets pass 10-year lows and whispers of a new "depression" sweep over the crowd.
Doug explains how this is a historic day and he has never seen anything like it before. The mania in the trading pits reaches such intensity that firms are throwing all their staff into the maelstrom.
Meanwhile, Rich Tag has lunch with an uber-wealthy investor where they try to figure out what's going on in the market and how they can profit from it.
Phil calls his brother, Ken, in Miami. They discuss what to do about this market and where to put their client's money. Next, we learn Phil's assistant, Beth, is quitting. It's a painful loss for Phil but there are no hard feelings as they part ways.
Kristi and the staff at Thinkorswim are dealing with this dramatic market drop and panicked investors. Things are so bad that no one on Kristi's staff has had any time off in a long time.
In the end, we do a season wrap-up with the whole cast as they discuss the victories and losses of this last dramatic year. They also try to see into their future and the future of Wall Street.
