Wall Street (movie) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 1929 movie was produced by Harry Cohn and starred Ralph Ince, Aileen Pringle, Sam De Grasse, Philip Strange, and Freddie Burke Frederick. The movie has come to be seen as the archetypal portrayal of 1980s excess, with Douglas as the archetypal "Master of the Universe". The movie is significant in terms of reflecting the public's general malaise with the current state of affairs in the "big business" world both in the late 1980s and in the wake of the late 1990s post-internet bubble scandals. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wall_Street_(movie)   (1182 words)

Bud's comment about the Challenger disaster is one; the movie is set one year before the space shuttle's explosion.

Wall Street "Wall Street", then, should be served up piping hot to the innocent with a dollop of caution: as one reviewer noted, what Stone had intended as a bloody criticism of greed gone rampant quickly became a full-bodied recruiting video for the investment banking industry. And what a recruiting video it is: Stone perfected his quick cuts and 'wall of information' with "Wall Street", proving his mastery of the new MTV-era of rich, lush, rapidly moving images and an editing style that wouldn't have been out of place in a music video. Often imitated, never surpassed, "Wall Street" is a stylish, intoxicating, stunning embodiment of an era when anybody could carve his way to the very top of American society by ruthless ambition and sheer determination; it was true when it was made, and it is possibly even more true today. www.dvdvan.com /info/B00003CXDB/Wall_Street.html   (1134 words)

Market Analysis without the Wall Street Hope and Hype From this rather inauspicious beginning The Wall Street Journal subsequently grew to be this nation’s foremost gatherer and publisher of authoritative business and financial news, with Dow serving as its editor until his death on December 4, 1902. As a reporter for The Wall Street Journal under Dow’s stewardship, S. Nelson was impressed by the business and speculative concepts expressed by Dow in his editorial comments and in his verbal discussions of the economic affairs and problems of the late 19th century. While not all of the editorial forecasts scored bull’s-eyes, and at least one missed the mark by a wide margin, most were amazingly accurate and the collection of written material on the whole demonstrates the efficacy of Dow’s original hypothesis and the reliability of the "barometer" he discovered. www.cyclesman.com /History_of_Dow_Theory.htm   (3658 words)
