So determined was Labeouf to win the role of Jacob Moore in Oliver Stone's "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps," four days before he was due to meet Stone, the young actor walked into a brokerage house and invested $20,000. Small price to pay for the role, you say? Think again -- we guess when you're hot, you're hot. "My mother laughs about it all the time. I come from poverty and she was on welfare, and now I'm trading upwards of $300,000."
Labeouf's secret? "You can never go wrong with soybeans," he joked, we think. The actor also revealed he "took and passed the Series 7 test which enables [him] to become a licensed trader." [Film Ink Magazine]

I dont care about what anybody syas, I like Labeouf and I thik he is very serious about his career.
This is bull - you can't take the Series 7 without being sponsored by a brokerage house.
And a quick check over @ FINRA shows no broker by the name of Shia Labeouf.
Thanks Anon. I think you're right. They would never let a celebrity do something off the books or unofficially. Never in a million zillion years.
