Default "Wall Street" -- the movie (in retrospect)
CNBC is running the 1987 movie Wall Street this weekend. I recorded it so we could get past those commercials fast when we watched it. It’s on again tonight.

Wall Street – Maybe you remember it from its first run 23 years ago --The Hubris of Greek mythology meets the Prodigal Son.

I am aware that I am posting this in the investment forum and not in the movie or television forum. That was a conscious decision. If you are tuned in to the market and you have been for a while, you might find this movie particularly interesting in retrospect.

Where or where was Martin Sheen when we needed him this century???

Whoops! Forgot my disclaimer -- I have no pieces of paper that say I know anything at all about investing; therefore, I have no idea what I am talking about. There is even a rumor around here that I could be an English major. (YIKES!)
