ot Now I've got to find out how to short lemon futures! Now if I remember right, in the movie Trading Places the two really rich guys, the Duke Bros., get HAMMERED selling Frozen Orange Juice futures short... careful, Hollywood may come to life and bite you on the A if you get too greedy ;-) RO P.s. hmmm or was it Akroyd and Murphy that were short...either way weren't they broke, were they backed by someone wanting to 'get even' now I'm forgetting whole scenario. How would they establish a position either way with no capital?
