"TAP não sobrevive se se mantiver pública", garante Pinto Luz

[LTCM]

Emerging from a lengthy prison stint, Gordon Gekko finds himself on the outside of a world he once dominated. Looking to repair his damaged relationship with his daughter, Gekko forms an alliance with her fiancé Jacob (Shia LaBeouf), and Jacob begins to see him as a father figure. But Jacob learns the hard way that Gekko – still a master manipulator and player – is after something very different from redemption.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)

'I once said, "greed is good". Now it seems its legal.'

Isso é só um filme.

As 3 primeiras razões para Hollywood fazer um filme são:

1 - ganhar dinheiro
2 - ganhar mais dinheiro
3 - ganhar ainda mais dinheiro

E como é que isso se consegue? Atraindo audiências pagantes.

E como é que isso se faz? Apresentando-lhes aquilo que elas querem ver e ouvir.

Os filmes e séries não representam a realidade, mas sim uma "realidade" fictícia que atrai audiências.

Resolvi colocar aqui umas frases famosas do Gordon Gekko a grande personagem encenada por Michael Douglas no filme Wall Street , um verdadeiro classico sobre a bolsa e a vida.

Se repararem bem, muitos delas fazem sentido ainda hoje.

"The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, $5 trillion. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got 90 percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own."

"We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price of a paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of a hat while everybody sits around wondering how the hell we did it. Now you’re not naïve enough to think that we’re living in a democracy, are you, buddy? It’s the free market, and you’re part of it."

"Ever wonder why fund managers can't beat the S&P 500? Because they're sheep, and sheep get slaughtered"

"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."

"Money never sleeps, pal."

"This painting here, I bought it 10 years ago for $60,000, I can sell it today for 600k [$600,000]; the illusion, has become real, and the more real it becomes, the more desperate they want it —capitalism at its finest."


"And if you need a friend, get a dog."

"The public's out there throwing darts at a board, kid, I don't throw darts at a board; I bet on sure things."

"Read Sun-tzu, The Art of War. Every battle is won before it is ever fought."

"It's all about the bucks, kid. The rest is conversation."


"First lesson in business: Don't get emotional about a stock."
