Every 20 years they write the deathknell of America and guess what?? You blokes keep coming back!! Incredible.

I love this. Too many people see this speech and say hes what's wrong with American Companies today. In reality, he's what right. Managment needs to have a long term stake in the company or it will fail, they dont have any stake in the company doing well over the next 20 years, only in the next 2 quarters before they jump ship with hundreds of millions of dollars in inflated value.

Reality Bites in this movie. This flick does have some errors in its Economics. I do agree that it opens the eyes back then and now to the market.

je44567:I am surprised you have any left after the huge dump your ilk has taken on the porches of America for the last 30 or so years with the ramp up of the finance/securities sector based on what turns out to be the most serious error of economic theory and practice, the idea that markets are totally efficient and can be trusted to deliver real value, safety for investment and ever expanding wealth creation. You've invited the socialists and regulators in. Happy reality time.

What the hell not irresponsible and responsible greed? That's like saying moral greed, there's no such thing. You're brainwashed.
