Wall Street: The Movie

Almost forgot I saw this again (or snippets of it, at least) on TV...until one of the guys mentioned Anacott Steel and "Greed is good." Ah, what a great movie. It's one of those seminal pieces that really shows you the insides of the business (or at least as it was in the 80s, but pretty close to today as well--at least the ideas in it). My bud Eoin (who is now a broker on Canary Wharf with Morgan Stanley) and I even memorised all the lines in it.

My wife is into watching it (on DVD so she can get captioning) too. When she met me she thought I was one of those floor traders....um, no, I have an office. Ha.

Here are some cool lines from it. Beauty.
