On the record
“Did you ever see the movie Wall Street? That was a great movie, right? There was that point in the movie where Michael Douglas (Gekko) says to his young protégé, uh, (actor Charlie) Sheen, he says ‘ greed is good.’“(It) is a terrible thing to say, of course. But in this case, if I were to apply that to the idea of rebounding, I would say greed is good. That there’s no reason to take a back seat to anybody in terms of rebounding. You should try to get the ball and be as greedy about it as you possibly can at all times.”
