'Banking and Finance' in the film:

'The source of all evil is speculation, leveraged debt, debt to the neck'
'Financial Model for bankruptcy, which extends globally'

Scene 1: 30:00-34:00
In this scene Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) is giving a talk at a university, which refers to several very interesting concepts. Talks about how the bankers invest with other people's money without taking responsibility, besides investments are becoming a greater risk. Also, we can see you name the financial leverage and refinancing.


Personal commentary:
In this film, you can see how the information is a power that can be used for personal gain or to harm others. But, this almost always has a number of consequences for their bad use. Therefore, we believe that you can not go blindly, and we should know the basics of money or how to use it. For in the end he ends up becoming a dangerous weapon.
At most we like the money, some more than others, therefore we have to be careful when and how to get it the way we would like to follow.

  1. This film I liked a lot because it is a good example to know how the world of finance works in Wall streat, one of the parts that surprised me the most was the repercussion that can have a simple rumor in the actions, when Jacob introduces a Rumor about the nationalization of oil, causing the shares of that company to fall by 19%
