Thirty years after the release of the now-classic movie “Wall Street,” Wall Street itself is totally different.
“The movie ‘Wall Street’ accurately depicted the industry as the Wild West, a winner-take-all environment where, in the words of Gordon Gekko, ‘greed is good’ .
Whether the result of a couple of market meltdowns, the regulatory environment or public scrutiny, Wall Street has become kinder and gentler.”
Fast forward 30 years and the Wall Street of 1987 is radically different – and that’s a change for the better for the retail investor.
