Stock markets and money markets - what are they for, and who runs them? While we struggle for the bare necessities, are the people in the markets making millions?

Produced at a time when Ireland was on the brink of economic boom, this documentary looks at the process of buying and selling of shares on the Irish Stock Market.

We hear about the history of the Irish Stock Market, as well as how the public play a much larger role in stock than they would imagine.

We meet those who have chosen the career of stock broker, and what it is that earns them a wage.
