  Yes, it is one of my favourite speeches.

  Gordon Gekko is a hero who liberates companies from bad management and creates shareholder value.

Yes, for me the moral of the story is....

"If you do insider trading, don't talk about it....especially if you are angry"


Again, I don't think the director intended this to be the moral of the story.Smile

Often characters have the opposite effect on people

And Gordon Gekko is the Gabbar Singh of Hollywood. Even in his operating style. :D

if gordon gekko's daughter hates(really despices) wall street guys because of her father, wonder why she falls for and ultimately marries another !
understanding both the power of compound return and the difficulty getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things

Hmmm think of her as America. America wants to hate these rich Wall Street types, but sooner or later she gets taken in by the style and glamour.
