58. Randolph and Mortimer came out on the wrong side when they tried to corner the market.....

in orange juice.

Don't forget, the end result of their attempts left them penniless.

Not to mention they weren't stock brokers.
They were commodities brokers. Big difference.

Of course, it is just a movie and if it actually had stayed close to the truth, the Eddie Murphy character would not have been allowed on the trading floor, much less the FCOJ pit. It's highly unlikely he could have gotten licensed within the time span the movie relates.
