Gordon Gecko, Wall Street and some great quotes
The DVD of WALL STREET 2, Money never sleeps has just come out and it reminded me what a great film, Oliver Stone's original Wall Street (1987) was, with the anti-hero, Gordon Gecko played by Michael Douglas. Strangely enough, Gecko was one of the reason's I originally got interested investing, funny given he's such a nasty piece of work!
Here are my favourite Gecko quotes: "The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. "
"Ever wonder why fund managers can't beat the S&P 500? 'Cause they're sheep, and sheep get slaughtered. " - HOW TRUE!!!
