How about Steve Carrell's character. He was really good in this too. Was his character one of the good guys or bad guys. Did he also make money but is sad about it?

In the movie he was in the same boat as Christian Bale, he basically bet a ton of money on the mortgage market taking a shit. The longer he held, the more money he made and the more he hurt the banks. Once he got word that the banks were probably gonna get a bail out from the government (which would wipe out his gains), he had a mental crisis about selling his massive gains which were based off so many people losing money, and how he wasnt actually better than the banks. But then he cashed out.

In real life, Im sure he had no such second guessing when he sold
