Later in the film when Bud is enthusiastically pushing Anacott Steel as part of Gekko’s revenge plan, he tells Lou that it’s a sure thing, to which Lou replies, “No such thing except death and taxes.” When Bud is not dissuaded, Lou says, “Remember there are no shortcuts, son. Quick-buck artists come and go with every bull market. The steady players make it through the bear markets.”

Teldar Paper is a microcosm of Corpo America. Overpaid executives, a bloated executive team and no one knows precisely what they do, the company is in trouble, a corporate raider is presenting himself as a savior, the shareholders are told it will all be fine and they’ll get a fat pay day.

And the system just goes on and on.
