“One of many fine quotes from that classic film.”
My first job out of college in 1984 with a finance degree was working for a brokerage house.
The movie is spot on how it was back then. Little exaggerated.
I was a lousey trader was fired. I am not the type a, ruthless competitive type of person.
I was making 75-80k and I was at the bottom of the rung in sales. That was a lot lof money in 1984 but there was guys making 350k on up.
I’ve always considered the Trilogy of Modern America Business Films to include “Wall Street”, “Glengary Glen Ross” and “Boiler Room”. A couple semesters worth of business knowledge (and shennigans of course) contained therein. Cheers!
I think also of the Matthew McConaughey scene in “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
Mark Hanna : Number one rule of Wall Street. Nobody - and I don’t care if you’re Warren Buffet or if you’re Jimmy Buffet - nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways or in circles. You know what a fugazi is?
Jordan Belfort : Fugayzi, it’s a fake.
Mark Hanna : Fugayzi, fugazi. It’s a whazy. It’s a woozie. It’s fairy dust. It doesn’t exist. It’s never landed. It is no matter. It’s not on the elemental chart. It’s not _______ real.
