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!!!


"If you need a friend, get a dog."


"Lunch is for wimps!"
