You want to invest?

You're Dwayne?

Yeah.
14
Hi, Dwayne.
15
We spoke on the phone.
16
I'm Jordan Belfort.
17
I'm the broker from Rothschild, New York.
18
Yes, yeah.
19
Have a seat.
20
How are you?
21
We had a conversation.
22
We spoke on the phone earlier, right?
23
Two hours ago.
24
Right.
25
Yeah.
26
I don't know what I should like not the stock.
27
I've never heard of them.
28
They're up-and-comers.
29
That's what that means.
30
Three cents a share.
31
That's three dollars, you cheap fuck.
32
So, uh, where, uh, where are your, uh, Quotrons here?
33
Quotrons?
34
Yeah, computers.
35
No, no, we don't even need computers here.
36
We just trade right up the pink sheets here.
37
Pink sheets?
38
Yeah, they're penny stocks.
39
You know, uh, companies that can't get listed on NASDAQ,
40
they don't have enough capital, their shares trade here.
41
Penny stocks?
42
Yeah.
43
This one, Aerodyne, is a really interesting...
44
Er, uh, Aerotyne.
45
Aerotyne, yeah.
46
Aerotyne.
47
Aerotyne, huh?
48
Very hot stock right now.
49
Yeah?
50
They're just a couple of brothers that are making radar detectors out of their garage.
51
They're out of Dubuque.
52
Maybe it's microwaves.
53
I'm not sure, but you call the company's main line,
54
their mom, Dorothy, answers, and she is so sweet and she is so sweet.
55
The company?
56
I actually don't know what else to...
57
I don't know anything else about them other than that.
58
Six cents a share?
59
Come on.
60
Who buys this crap?
61
Well, I mean, honestly, mostly schmucks.
62
Postmen, there's always postmen.
63
Plumbers, they see our ads in the back of Hustler and Popular Mechanics,
64
and our ads actually say they can get rich quick.
65
Hustler?
66
Yeah.
67
You know the girly magazine?
68
Yeah, yeah.
69
Nudie mag.
70
A lot.
71
We're helping them finance houses.
72
We're helping them buy their wife a diamond ring, a boat, maybe.
73
Is this stuff regulated, or are you guys...
74
What are you doing here?
75
Uh.. sort of.
76
Sort of?
77
Jesus Christ, the spread on these is huge.
78
Yeah, and that's the point.
79
What's your name again?
80
Jordan Belfort.
81
Jordan, what do you get on a blue chip stock?
82
I make 1%.
83
I did make 1%.
84
Pink sheets, it's 50.
85
It's 50%?
86
50% commission?
87
For what?
88
It's our markup for our services.
89
So if I sell a stock at $10,000, my commission is $5,000?
90
If you sell $10,000 worth of this stock,
91
I will personally give you a blowjob for free.
92
And I hope it happens.
93
Hello, John.
94
How are you doing today?
95
You mailed in my company a postcard a few weeks back requesting information on penny stocks
96
that had huge upside potential with very little downside risk.
97
Does that ring a bell?
98
Oh, yeah, I may have said something.
99
Okay, great.
100
Well, reason for the call today,
101
John, is something just came across my desk, John.
102
It is perhaps the best thing I've seen in the last six months.
103
If you have 60 seconds,
104
I'd like to share the idea with you.
105
You got a minute?
106
Name of the company, Aerotime International.
107
It is a cutting-edge, high-tech firm out of the Midwest,
108
awaiting imminent patent approval on a next generation of radar detectors that have both huge military and civilian applications.
109
Now, right now, John, the stock trades over the counter at 10 cents a share.
110
And by the way, John,
111
our analysts indicate it could go a heck of a lot higher than that.
112
Your profit on a mere $6,000 investment would be upwards of $60,000.
113
Jesus, that's my mortgage, man.
114
Exactly, you could pay off your mortgage.
115
This stock will pay off my house.
116
John, one thing I can promise you,
117
even in this market, is that I never ask my clients to judge me on my winners.
118
I ask them to judge me on my losers because I have so few.
119
And in the case of Erotime,
120
based on every technical factor out there,
121
John, we are looking at a grand slam home run.
122
OK, let's do it.
123
I'll do four grand.
124
4,000, that'd be 40,000 shares, John.
125
Let me lock in that trade right now and get back to you with my secretary with an exact confirmation.
126
Sound good, John?
127
Yeah, sounds good.
128
Great.
129
Hey, John, thank you for your vote of confidence and welcome to the Investor Center.
130
Yeah, thanks a lot, man.
131
Bye-bye.
132
Bye-bye.

Consigli per la pratica

Quando pratichi il shadowing con questo video, presta attenzione alla velocità e al tono della conversazione. Il dialogo è piuttosto informale e colloquiale, quindi è fondamentale cercare di emulare non solo le parole, ma anche l'intonazione e il ritmo. Inizia ascoltando brevi segmenti e ripetili ad alta voce, cercando di cogliere le espressioni emotive e il contesto. Questo ti aiuterà a migliorare la pronuncia inglese e a rendere il tuo parlato più naturale. Utilizza il metodo shadowspeak per integrare vocaboli nuovi e praticare l'intonazione, rendendo la tua esperienza di apprendimento più coinvolgente. Ricorda che la pratica costante è la chiave per padroneggiare il shadowing in inglese e ottenere risultati soddisfacenti nel tuo percorso di apprendimento.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
