Unpaid intern wearing Gekko contrast collar
Hey guys, I am around 3 months into my unpaid tech M&A internship. Do y'all think it is a good idea to wear a Light blue Contrast collar french cuff shirt with a yellow tie to work ( Literally Gordon Gekko Outfit)? Or do you think our MD will kill me?

Gordon Gekko investment firm
I've seen a lot of people assuming that Gordon Gekko own a trader firm. I think this isn't true, I think Gekko own an investment banking firm specialized in takeovers and IBD functions plus PE operations. So my possible interpretations are 1. investment banking firm (such as Evercore ) 2. Private...
What would Patrick Bateman and Gordon Gekko think of Occupy Wall Street?

What did Gekko exactly do?
It seems everyday there is a reference to Gordon Gekko on this site and every other member has a picture of him as their profile pic. However, what did Gekko exactly do...I mean he wasn't a banker and not exactly a trader. So, what was his official job title/role? Was he simply a CEO of a Asset...
The Gamification of Recruiting
It could be said that recruiting for competitive jobs in business is a game. However, recruiting is a poorly designed game with blurred rules that doesn't necessarily award the best candidates all of the time. We have all long known about the shortcomings of the current model recruiting, and a...
Buffet, Icahn, and the media
Why does the media love Buffet, yet portray Icahn so negatively? I like them both, but I think the world needs more shareholder activists like Icahn . Why does the media portray them as Gekkos instead of "watchful protectors."
Sunday Showdown: the fictional rich
I was going to write about commodities and the economy, but with it being a Sunday I felt that I should just take it easy and do some front page trolling. We all fall under the banner of finance and money, with fictional figures like Gordon Gekko and Patrick Bateman considered as icons but with...
The Fall of Gekko's Children
“ Give me guys that are poor, smart, and hungry and no feelings. ” – Gordon Gekko Since the dawn of man, rules had been set to measure one’s worth; in the prehistoric era it was one’s strength that dictated whether he was to be a badass hunter or a wussy gatherer, in the Renaissance times,...
Wall Street on Wall Street 2
Southampton, New York: A gathering of Titans was brewing; names like Kravis, Schwarzman, Black, and Giuliani were on the guest list. Was it a Bilderberg meeting? No. Perhaps another “idea” dinner? Wrong again. Where they watching Shia LaBeouf pull a Costanza on the big screen? Bingo.
Wall Street Douche Bags; Now In A Theater Near You
Why is it that every portrayal of a Wall Streeter in mainstream media – from the infamous Gordon Gekko to the impotent David Kaplan (HBO’s ‘ How To Make It In America ’) – is more douche-tastic than the one that preceded it? Circle the correct answer: 1. Hollywood hates Wall Street. The...

So, did Gordon Gekko have clients, or traded for himself ?
In the first movie, we see him a few times in the office with some Japanese dudes, but it is not clear if they are potential business partners or clients. In the second movie, he specifically says he turned his 100 million into a billion once he opened the office in London. He never really mentions...
Question about a hostile take over
Hey guys, I have a few question about a takeover. Think Gordon Gekko's attempt to take over the airline company at the end of Wall Street. 1) Pending a liquidating dividend, will gains as each asset is liquidated be reported in Other Comprehensive Income? 2) If all the assets of the takeover company...
