One of the few movies that inspired my interest in the financial markets...

That's interesting, James. Was Gekko the inspirational figure there, or was it Bud?

Actually I was fascinated with the works of the financial markets.... big operators, brokers, insider trading, the fat trader who worked for Gekko, the amount of commissions brokers rake, etc...

Second was Boiler Room.. pretty much had me convinced I wanted to learn this industry. T

Re: Wall Street Sequel

Can't wait, too bad it takes so long to make movies (from shooting to release)
Still should be interesting

Re: Wall Street Sequel

I really enjoyed boiler room. Actually I still imagine prop shops to be a bit like that (though obviously not scamming little old ladies of course).

I was always fascinated but completely ignorant of the financial markets (could be argued I still am). I can't recall what actually prompted me to finally dig a bit deeper.

Re: Wall Street Sequel

Look forward to it...it was a good movie.

It would be nice if there was TV series about traders.
we have them on almost most proffessions Police, Firefighter, Lawyers, Doctors, Athletes....why not traders.

Any producers out there listen up, it would make for a good TV Show.
Just think prior to the OJ court trial there were barely any TV shows based on the everyday lives of lawyers...and suddenly tons of them poped up on TV and it proved to be a success.
