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.  |

Often characters have the opposite effect on people And Gordon Gekko is the Gabbar Singh of Hollywood. Even in his operating style. :D ------------- Verbal diarrhoea! A most deadly disease. |

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. ------------- Verbal diarrhoea! A most deadly disease. |
