The Wolf of Wall Street, released on Christmas day and starring none other than Leonardo DiCaprio, is one hell of a look at Jordan Belfort's experiences in the stock trading field. Belfort, who's now a motivational speaker, was once a stockbroker living the high life (literally and figuratively) by manipulating the stock market and taking advantage of investors. Belfort's stock swindling eventually landed him in federal prison for 22 months. The film is no doubt an entertaining wild ride and a well- made one at that--it received 5 Academy Award nominations including "Best Picture" and "Best Director."
