Because I'm interested in watching this movie for business, I don't see much about business, but I see a lot of things about human nature. I have always known that the environment has a great influence on people. This film just shows this scene, the more typical "Matthew Effect" and "Broken Window Effect".

1. Many times a person stands in the position he can reach now, not necessarily because his own ability is much higher than others, sometimes because he has already stood in the opportunity. So, if you have the conditions to put yourself in the right environment, then try to get yourself in. The Matthew effect will help you.

2. People who can stand up in adversity are especially tall, because we have never thought about which friends are true friends when we fall to the bottom, and those who help you up at this time are truly worth cherishing. people. Those who have gone up against the wind can go further.

3. In front of the big capital, we are often like clowns, controlled by money, fame, and status, and manipulated like marionettes, which makes people feel very sad. And only when we live out our own independent consciousness, when we do not regard power and money as all of us, can we regain our free soul and live out what we truly are.

What is more surprising is that the rhythm is quite relaxed. I watched "Wall Street" two days ago. This is a no-brainer. As a girl with a non-financial business-related major, she can feel a little bit from the beginning. Hair tips.

  • Randolph Duke: Exactly why do you think the price of pork bellies is going to keep going down, William?

    Billy Ray Valentine: Okay. Pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means that everybody's waiting for it to hit rock bottom so they can buy cheap and go long. Which means that the people who own the pork belly contracts are goin' bat-shit. They're saying, "Hey, we're losing all our goddamn money, and Christmas is just around the corner, and I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip, right? And my wife won't f... my wife won't make love to me 'cuz I ain't got no money, right?" So they're panicking right now, they're screaming "SELL! SELL!" to get out before the price keeps dropping. They're panicking out there right now! I can feel it! They out there!

    Randolph Duke: [on the ticker machine, the price keeps dropping] He's right, Mortimer! My God, look at it!

    Billy Ray Valentine: I'd wait until you get to around sixty-four, THEN I'd buy. You'll have cleared out all the suckers by then.

    Randolph Duke: This is Randolph Duke. Advise our clients interested in bellies to buy at sixty-four. Mr. Valentine has set the price.

    [He punches up the numbers on his calculator]

    Randolph Duke: Do you realize how much money he just saved us?

    Mortimer Duke: Money isn't everything, Randolph!
