"GREED, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, IS GOOD."
One of the most quoted lines in financial film history.
Gordon Gekko didn't just sell greed. He made a case about accountability, ownership, and who actually pays the price when management fails.
"You own the company. That's right. You, the stockholder, and you are all being royally screwed over by these bureaucrats with their steak lunches, their hunting and fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes."
