Frozen Orange Juice is Gamestop.
The hedge fund managers are the Duke brothers.
WSB is Louis & Billy Ray.
Clarence Beaks is experts analyzing retail trends.

The fake crop report is memes.
The seat on the stock exchange is, uh, a mod?
I don't really know what happens at the end of Trading Places either. I mostly just wanted to say: "Looking good, WSB!"

I think the Dukes went long on OJ expecting low OJ supply causing the price to rise. Then the real report came out and there was a bumper crop, meaning prices would fall. The Dukes then had to pay top dollar for OJ that was super cheap.

At the end of Trading places Winthorp and Valentine go short and then cover at about 1/4 to 1/8th of what they sold for. All in a span of a few minutes.
