it is a little confusing, and the movie does some things to make it more confusing. But the way I described it is the order friend. This is something you can google and I am including a link. It will probably explain it better than I can. https://www.slashfilm.com/1306886/trading-places-ending-explained/

2024-12-28 15:35:33 +0000 UTCThe money they were spending belonged to Coleman and Ophelia , since Winthorpe and Valentine didnt have any money to work with initially. So they would have had to have bought what they could when the market opened. The Dukes started buying immediately as well, and kept buying even as the price was rising. Once it peaked at 142, Valentine and Winthorpe sold. The runner for The Dukes couldnt get any of the shares sold, so the value of their shares withered as the value declined to 29. I suppose Valentine and Winthorpe could have shorted the sale, and sold ones they didnt actually have, but I'm not sure thats possible with commodities. We're on the same page with the plan (our heroes buy low, sell high while making sure the villains buy high, and lose all their value), just off a little on where our heroes start. Its a little fuzzy, so its best guess.

2024-12-26 23:28:32 +0000 UTCFriend, I am new here and don't mean to rub you the wrong way but you are off base on what happened at the end of the movie in a few ways. One they aren't trading stocks they are trading commudiates futures. Two you have reversed the order they bought and sold the commodities. Basically the scheme was , our heroes have contracts allowing them to buy millions of pounds of orange juice in April for 29 cents a pound which they bought when the prices fell after the report. They then get to sell the OJ for $1.42 a pound which they bought before the report came out and everyone thought it was going to up. They sold high and bought low. The Dukes did the opposite so they have to sell of their OJ in April for a massive loss per pound.

2024-12-26 22:50:10 +0000 UTC@1:10:00 Its true, Jamie Lee Curtis has nice pecs. Don't ask me why its such an enjoyable body part to view, it just is. the stock trading can be tricky to follow if you arent really sure how it works. The market opened at 102 per share, and Winthorpe and Valentine bought in immediately. The Dukes continued buying even as the price was rising. Since people saw them buying so aggressively, they assumed they knew something, and started buying too. The stock price swells the more money is put into it, so when it hit 142 per share, Winthorpe and Valentine sold, meaning they gained $40 per share they bought. Meanwhile, the Dukes couldnt sell their stock, and it ended up closing at 29. We dont really know how many shares they bought, but we can assume they went hard, and managed to lose at least $73 on every share they bought. Basically, their worth lost about 75% of its value.
