Wall Street I and Wall Street II show the excessive Wall Street stock market greed that led to brokerage firms developing sub-prime mortgages sold to foreign governments, investors and even retirement funds world wide. The banks, brokerage houses and insurance companies backed the sub-prime mortgages.
As the real estate market bubble burst and the sub-prime mortgages became worthless, banks and brokerage houses went belly up and the world’s largest insurance company came close to collapse. To save the financial institutions, governments bailed out the banks, mortgage brokers and insurance companies. Then the governments came perilously close to financial collapse and China was asked to lend money through the purchase of government bonds.
The seed of the global financial crises was foretold in Wall Street I and the actual collapse is told in Wall Street II.
The bottom line is that the stock market is not an investment, it is a gamble. The potential profits are directly related to the amount of risk. And too many big players control and manipulate stock prices making the purchase of stock very risky for a small investor.

Playing the stock can make money,but people shouldn’t have the greed,That will lead to crime.
This movie states a good moral to us,which may apply to us now or in the future.I think having a strong desire is a good thing in some ways,it shows that you are motivated at least,but we should not becontrolled by our own desire,like Bud Fox,and then lose ourselves.To some extent,greed is good,it is a booster which propels us forward.If you have extra money can be used for investment,I think there are some projects better than stocks,such as real estate.
Although Gekko is a genius, but he pursues relentlessly to get his business,finally cause his own defeat. Genius often betrays itself into great errors.
From this movie,I learn a moral that we can make money by this way.
The movie grabs our attention while questioning the corrupted values of a system that worships profit at the cost of one’s soul.

To some degree, most people are greedy and greed is not a bad thing. Strong desire can make us do whatever we can to achieve our goals. But we should not worship profit at the cost of our soul and body. So we should properly control and use the greed to realize our dreams with the legal methods. After all, money is not everything. We should not become the only living for money miser.
For my mind, it is the important mean I think that the movie tells us if one person is over greedy, he will become very terrible.
We students are keen on realize self-worth in a short time after graduate the same as Bud. When you step to this messy world , you may be tempted by money and sex . They may give you the wrong way to get success , letting you do illegal things , then you get lost . Just think about what you really want is . Need for something is not wrong , greed for something makes you weak .
There should be supervision in the financial field. man always has a greedy heart and must be controlled by the law or regulation.this world are made up of huaman.almost everyone seek the best benefit for themselves.in order to keep the world peace and harmonious,more and more laws shuold be built to bind to the action of everyone .
Greed is good.Yes,in my opinion,but the key is the ways that how will you achieve you point.With legal methord,it is good for you,even to the society.But illegal is harmful to all of us.So as a trader in stock exchange,use illegal inside trading to meet their own goal is criminal.
From this movie I learnt some economic knowledge and some strategies to make money,I realized that the world is so wanderful if you have the ability to control the rulers.I think greedy is good.maybe I should learn some law about economic to avoid going wrong.
From the movie,we can see that greed is good,which can stimulate people’s enthusiasm,but excessive greed can easily destroy a person.No matter do what,we should comply with the relevant standards,at least not violate the moral’s bottom line.
Stock market is not an investment but a gambleis.Even though a great number of people want to get profit from it.But most of them failed.After I watched this movie,I know some knowledge of stock market.
This movie proved a Chinese philosophy, namely “extremes meet”. If person is excessively greedy to pursue personal profit and victory, he will lose the most precious thing.
I really can not understand the stock market clearly even I have already seen the two films.It is a mysterious thing that the business man can make big ，fast money by it if they can do control it well！Greed is good ，and this sentence impress me a lot .As it to me ，stock is gambling.Maybe we can become rich man one night，but we will probably also lose all things ！We can not make a bet so it is not a good thing for me.
Money may brings many benefits,such as the peak of cause,the recognition of colleagues and high quality of material life.But the cost is the lost of conscience.I think although gentleman loves money ,but should get it in a proper way.
In real life, when interests and conscience conflict,most of the people will choose interests.But in the movie,Paull Bud finally choose the conscience.Sometimes greed may be a good thing, it can be the driving force to encourage people to achieve their goals,but excessive greed is not so good.
People can’t be too greedy.For anything,if you only can win,and can’t bear fail,you’d better not to do it.
The seed of the global financial crises was foretold in Wall Street I and the actual collapse is told in Wall Street II.If you have extra money can be used for investment,I think there are some projects better than stocks,such as real estate.Need for something is not wrong , greed for something makes you weak .
Greed is good ,if you can charge it.
Stock market is an investment for all of us ,but a gamble for an individual.
The total number profit is a constant,only the distribution of these profits is diverse.
If the most of profit was distributed to a man or few men(such as stockbroker)that make no futher profit,that will be a disaster for the rest who really make further profit.
Greed may be a good thing,but if you do not treat it carefully,it can be fatal.If the desire of money is out of control,the consequences will be very serious.More money is a bottomless pit,the desire of money is never satisfied.Greed of money will drive people to be trapped,and unable to extricate themselves .
As far as i am concerned,appropriate greed is good,but if we have excessive one ,it may changes to be devil.we must realise our soul in anywhere,and can not lose it.
One who with a strong desire to get money is right,however,too much greedy such as making other people loss will be wrong,with suffering “sorry”to others in heart,one can’t be live a good life.
Greedy is a rapier.It not only can bring us a lot of new ideas,but also bring us unending troubles.It may make us can’t stop,it rush us to do something.There is an old Chinese saying thathappiness lies in contentment.I think which is good.
We know,as Wall street stockbroker,that they want to get to the top.It is ok,but they do insider trading and get fast money.This is wrong here.Finally,they will put themself to prison.
I learned a lot about economics and stock market from the movie called Wall street.No matter how samrt you are ,you can’t escape from the punishment if you do something wrong.
I learn from the movie that greed is good,which can stimulate people’s enthusiasm,but excessive greed can easily destroy a person.Strong desire can make us do whatever we can to achieve our goals. But we should not worship profit at the cost of our soul and body. So we should properly control and use the greed to realize our dreams with the legal methods.No matter do what,we should comply with the relevant standards,at least not violate the moral’s bottom line.
Sometimes，greed is good，it can movitate us to earn much more money.But we mustn’t be excessive greedy,it will destroy ourselves.
Today, I meet a college classmate who works in a corporation producing located XiaShang. The products of the corporate
is exported to America. She told me that English is a significant skill have been demand. These days ,I always try my best to remember my English standard. Actually, for my poor English knowledge ,I unable to organize my words wouderful and explain my creative idea then debate with you—my dear professor. however,give sometime I will improve myself.
I think greed is terrible thing which may change a person different with himself. So we need to satisfy!
Gekko was an extremely greedy broker.He had been in prison for eight years because of insider trading.Eight years later,he was releassed.And then he continued to pursuit more money,at the costs of the belief from his daughter and his son-in-law.He was so greedy.
Motivated is good, but we should control ourselves desires.If out of the contral,we wii break the low.Money is important,but money is not everying,we should use reasonable means obtain,rather than to break the law.
Stock investment is a kind of serious gamble,I will not buy stock if I know little about it.
After watching the movie, I think appropriate greedy is acceptable,we can try our best to chase something by our own hands.
After saw the movie,I learnt a lot,this movie disclosed the greed of human nature,it is meaningful to my attitude to my life.
Money is important,but it is not buy-all.You can work hard to earn more money, but you must not to be greed.Bud Fox is lucky,at last he was brought up,he had not fall in greed.Wall street grabs your attention while questioning the corruptedvalues of a system that worship profit at the cost of one’s soul.If you will be a business-man,you should remember that having a clear consciencel.
This film declaim greed is good, but greedy stands in the way of the development of the society and Corruption and crime go hand in hand.
The things happended in the moive is a epitome of the realistic life.It tells us that too much greed is not helpful than it is good enough for us.If we exceed the mount we will surfer its bad influences.SO we do thing things with a detailed plan,or else we will make a wrong decession.
It is a cruel society ! Many people sell their souls when they facing with temptation of money ! In my opinion we should make money with right way . Family and love are more important than money !
The movie with a global financial centre in the Wall Street as a background, describing the stock market tycoon Gordon by hooking in manipulating stock price, but the results were defeated by a still has the conscience of young. The director borrows the Gordon’s wrong actions to question the modern people face the temptation of money and to sell their soul.
I think the movie tells us that making money must abide morality!
I have a great interesting in stock market ,because it may bring us great money.I also konw there is great risk in stock market .We can get money from the stock market in a proper way ,but if the desire of money is out of control,it will be terrible!
If a person is too greedy,what he gets is more than he loses.Money is important,but we can not ingonre other things,for example,frends,health and so on.we must feel gateful and satisfied every day.
After watching the movie,I faound in the Wall Street,everybody try their best to make money.Because their greed,they did not care about others.It is a crude world.
TO a people greedy is normal,in which one can get sth he want.
But too greedy is not good,one maybe offend the law and put in prison
I think stock is not an investment but a gamble.I don’t know how stock market works，but I think the speculator with large capital can control the stock market，then the small investors suffer the damage.So It’s better to keep far away from it.
Greedy is good,sometimes,because it can make you to still concentrate on those persuits which you after.while sometimes it is not,if you lose you mind when you are tracing something,say,money,then you will not satisify,and you will do anything that maybe illegal as long as it can bring profit.So whether greedy is good or not,it is up to the person.
Business never be easy, so does life. Everything has its bottom line.
In this movie, all the people think that greedy is good .In order to make more money they use a kind of illegal means, but they are not happy. Maybe money is very important, while I don’t think the money is everything .A lot of precious things can’t be bought by money, for example family, friendship, career and so on. So we should cherish more happiness of mental.
Greed is good. Greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge all good. But we must control it. i think.
