There once was a man called Gordon Gekko who said…

“The richest one percent of this country owns half our country’s wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It’s bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you’re not naive enough to think we’re living in a democracy, are you buddy? It’s the free market. And you’re a part of it. You’ve got that killer instinct. Stick around pal, I’ve still got a lot to teach you.”

Well… 23 years later Mr. Gekko is back, and still right about what he said back then!


Oliver Stone is back and Michael Douglas is back. That’s all i need to know! Shia LeBeouf and Josh Brolin will work nicely as well i guess…

But this is Mr. Douglas world..
