  2. Possibly the worst morally, not financially:

    "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good...."


    "Greed is right. Greed works. Greed cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit."

  4. "Buy high, sell higher."

    And its corollary

    "Buy low, sell high."

    And its other corollary

    "Sell high, buy low."

  7. "There's no free lunch on Wall Street."

    Unless we find hundred dollar bills laying around with our trading algorithms, like HFT.

  8. To Bud Fox's question,

    <b>"How much is enough?"</b>

    GG:

    <i><b>
    "It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero-sum game. Somebody wins. Somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another. The illusion has become real, and the more real it becomes, the more desperate they want it."
