" sink or swim"

them who "dies are the lucky ones"

 

[bwolinsky]

Possibly the worst morally, not financially:

"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good...."


"Greed is right. Greed works. Greed cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit."

[bwolinsky]

"Buy high, sell higher."

And its corollary

"Buy low, sell high."

"Sell high, buy low."

What if all your eggs are boiled already?

"There's no free lunch on Wall Street."

To Bud Fox's question,

<b>"How much is enough?"</b>

GG:

<i><b>
"It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero-sum game. Somebody wins. Somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another. The illusion has become real, and the more real it becomes, the more desperate they want it."

true- thats the beauty of capatlism- everything is worth something- girls- diamonds- champers-everything has a value
