Q: I understand how the Hunts (I mean the Dukes) lost money
   at the end of the film,  but how did the good guys
   make money?


   (---------Minor spoiler---------------)







A: Simple, they sold high and bought low.  High when the Dukes
   were trying to corner the market,  low when the market panicked.
   Notice that since they were able to buy back all the OJ they'd
   sold,  they didn't necessarily have to own any in the first place
   (selling short).
