[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the last episode, spoilers.

Doesn't chuck have two problems.  His dad invested his entire trust fund.  Not just 8 million.  And his wife invested in the short.  Isn't he going to be stuck on the sidelines now with the new US attorney taking down his wife?  And he is broke himself.

Did Wendy invest in the short because she knew what chuck was doing?  Setting up axe.

Why did Bobby care about her investment?[/quote]

I think the presumption is that the stock will shoot back to where it was prior to the manufactured bacteria scare.

I think Wendy invested because she assumed Axe had it wired like he always did and that her husband was in way over his head.  She will be dragged down with Axe because of Chuck. Axe cared about Wendy's investment because he want's to control (or at the very least know about) everything that goes on in his shop.

I really wanted Chuck and his grotesque father to lose but oh well.[/quote]

No I think its more simple than that. Axe [b]ruined[/b] Chuck with this play, but if Wendy gains from itthen Chuck is not entirely ruined - he will see the financial gain she sees in the transaction. Simple.[/quote][/b]

I think you're confused about what most likely will happen tonight.  Wendy has knowingly put herself in as an accomplice in insider trading. The reason Rhodes Jr. brought up the new EDNY prosecutor was to track all of Axe's bad deeds and catch him in the act of poisoning the product while pushing the market up, then shorting it.  Which is what Wendy did too, so Axe, Wags, Taylor and Wendy "should" all go down tonight for insider trading brought by the EDNY.  Rhodes Sr. and the lawyer will also go down for insider trading.  That leaves Rhodes Jr. standing and the ultimate victor.  Yes, he lost his trust fund, but once the news about the isolated taintings become news (as they will most assuredly be tonight by the EDNY prosecutor), then the stock will bounce back. Rhode's Jr. then is the ultimate winner.  However, one poster did suggest that perhaps Axe was watching Rhodes Jr. through all of this.  If so, then the "house of cards" may be restacked.   Either way, things like this always come out so even if Rhodes, Jr. gets a momentary high and puts everyone away on insider trading, it will ultimately come out that he masterminded this whole affair and also engaged in insider trading.[/quote]

No I'm not confused. You failed to read the thread. I was answering a SPECIFIC question. Go back and read it again.[/quote][/b]
