From the movie and the analyses we conducted in the individual sections, two conclusions have been drawn. The first conclusion revolved around the implications of faster network communications and the reliability of the high-frequency trading algorithms. The second conclusion emphasizes the importance of upholding the contracts and agreements by all parties involved.

Conclusion 1: Not everyone benefits from faster network communications and faster algorithms

In the network communications and computer reliability section, we analyzed the effect that speed has on the stock market, and we found that high-frequency trading has negative impacts on the market. We also noticed that the movie heavily focused on the monetary value of high-frequency trading and briefly touches on these negative impacts. Some of the movie's special features and QnA's with the director also show that the director wanted to highlight some of these negative impacts. The two major negative impacts are market volatility and increased stock prices for investors.

Through the 2010 Flash Crash, we can see how the market-makers (everyday traders) are hurt by speculative traders (high-frequency traders). These market-makers were hurt immensely through the fall on the stock market and unlike the high-frequency traders, they don't have the ability to make their money back so quickly. In addition, as a result of the crash, the market was put on hold for a brief period of time, but this time only hurt the market-makers and the business themselves even more as they could not even access the stock market for at least 30 minutes.

We also analyzed how competition in the high-frequency trading industry benefits speculative traders at the expense of investors. Faster speeds encourage fiercer competition in the high-frequency trading industry, and while speculative traders are gaining profits, they increase the bid-ask spread that market-makers offer to long-term serious investors. The stock market is essentially a platform where investors could support the companies that they think are successful, but speculative traders care only about profits regardless of the companies that put out stock. The competition in high-frequency trading is damaging the more serious and impactful competition among investors in the stock market.

Conclusion 2: All agreements must be upheld by all parties involved

In the intellectual property section, we discussed the importance of upholding agreements and contracts. Vincent and Anton violated their employment contracts and non-compete agreements that serve to protect Eva's trade secrets. The cousins also started to work on their own project to eventually become Eva's competitor in the industry. We also discussed that it was unethical for Vincent to expect his workers to uphold the NDA when he himself failed to uphold the agreements he made with Eva.

We also concluded that because of the many breaches in contracts, Eva went beyond the repercussions and accused Anton as a "threat to national security", when all he did was violate the non-compete agreement and potentially (the movie never specified) the Works Made for Hire contract.

Overall, if all parties upheld their respective agreements, there would be a net benefit and less conflicts among the parties.
