The Stock Tip
"The Stock Tip" is the fifth and final episode of the first season of the American television sitcom Seinfeld. It first aired on NBC in the United States on June 21, 1990. In the episode, George drags Jerry into buying a stock on an insider trading tip, and Jerry takes his girlfriend on a weekend getaway to Vermont.
The episode was written by series creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, and was directed by Tom Cherones. When it aired, it received enough ratings and praise for NBC to commission a second season.
At Monk's, Elaine is beleaguered by failing to find a dropped grape in her kitchen, and by allergies from dating a cat owner. Jerry wants a weekend getaway with his girlfriend Vanessa, and Elaine recommends a bed and breakfast in Vermont. George is following rising stock prices for Sendrax, which makes technology for "televising opera", thanks to an insider trading tip that his friend is getting from a man named Wilkinson. George invests $5,000 and convinces Jerry to put in $2,500 until Wilkinson says to sell. Elaine shames Jerry out of ordering tuna due to dolphin by-catch, but George, not listening, orders the same.
Jerry sells Vanessa on the Vermont trip to speed their relationship into "phase two", while anxiously following Sendrax's now-falling price. Kramer smugly offers his own "tie dispenser" as a better investment, then asks to bring over some anarchists he met at a rock concert while Jerry is out. Wilkinson is suddenly hospitalized, leaving George and Jerry in the lurch. A dry cleaner stonewalls Jerry's complaint about a shrunken shirt until Jerry finally settles for admitting, unrepentantly, to shrinking it.
Jerry turns down Elaine's invitation to help kill or shave her boyfriend's cats. Kramer spies on a woman downstairs through binoculars and decides to pick her up. George visits Wilkinson in the hospital, but Wilkinson, on the outs with George's friend, throws George out. Jerry sells at a $1,500 loss, while George clings to his sunk cost.
At the bed and breakfast, Jerry and Vanessa are rained in all weekend, and run out of conversation topics. Jerry finds that he actually lost out on $4,000 since Sendrax is now up. Not charmed by the lodging, Vanessa assumes Jerry cheaped out due to his loss. Jerry spends the rest of the trip prying into the name of Vanessa's perfume, but she dumps him rather than tell him.
George flaunts his $8,000 profit, treating Jerry and Elaine to meals while wearing a suit and smoking a cigar. Elaine's boyfriend has chosen the cats over her. George confides another stock tip in a "robot butcher" company. He pays the check without reading it, then double-checks and takes back the overpayment.
"The Stock Tip" was recorded in front of a live studio audience at Ren-Mar Studios in Hollywood, California, on March 12, 1990.
