Money Never Sleeps Preview

Posted by Percy Walker at Friday, August 31. 2007 and is filed under Hedge Funds

The inspiration for the re-birth of Gordon Gekko as a London-based hedge fund manager, Finbar Taggit, gives us a sneak preview of some Gekko lines in the upcoming sequel to Wall Street, Money Never Sleeps:
  • "Regulation is for rookies"
  • "There is only one g in hedge"
  • "Johnny Depp is to pirates what Gordon Gekko is to market manipulation"
  • "Fundamentals are for buffoons called Warren. "
  • "Remember the 3 L's. Lie, Lock and Lever. Tell them their dreams will come true, lock them in, and borrow as much as you can to maximise your performance bonus."
  • "Only the guilty give away what they earn."
  • "If you are going to lose money, lose it big. Investors cannot sue you if you have blown up completely."
  • "Make your investors smile. Rolexes and whores are great comforters when their investments are down
  • "You can never have a big enough yacht"
  • "Spending other peoples money is a science. Never paying it back is an art."
  • "Covered shorts are for wimps"
  • "Big balls are for dandies"
  • "Power is being able to make the markets move."
  • "Owning people is the route to success."
  • "Wimps are for the Investment Banks. Trading with a fat balance sheet behind you is like running naked down a street at night."
  • "Getting in is easy. Getting out is where I come in."
