leafar Hall of fame  In the last seven deals that I’ve been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you. I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them ! The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed — for lack of a better word — is good.

Greed is right.

Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms — greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed — you mark my words — will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA Thank you very much

Carey Mulligan Cast in Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps
Last month when we reported that Javier Bardem had joined the cast of Oliver Stone's Wall Street 2, now known as just Money Never Sleeps, there was still one big role that hadn't been cast. In the sequel, Shia LaBeouf plays Jacob, a young Wall Street trader who's engaged to be married to Gordon Gekko's estranged daughter. Latino Review is reporting that British actress Carey Mulligan has been cast as Winnie, Gekko's daughter, not only giving her a chance to break out in a big way, but securing her another juicy role (that lots of other actresses wanted) after blowing everyone away in An Education at Sundance earlier this year.Mulligan, seen above, is just cute as a frickin' button, and one of the best young up-and-coming actresses currently working today (and I can say that having actually [Read more]

Discussion: What if Paramount Merged with Sony or Universal?
This isn't news - it's all a rather crazy claim from a Wall Street investor. But there is a great discussion worth having. In a Forbes article published yesterday, veteran investor Mario Gabelli claims that Viacom Inc's Paramount Pictures could merge with Sony Pictures, Universal Studios or another movie studio amid a wave of consolidation in the industry over the next few months. It's a very lofty prediction, especially since Paramount is one of the studios who is doing very well right now (and will be doing even better when Transformers 2 opens next week). But the discussion is whether this could be beneficial if it ever happened.Today there are seven or eight motion-picture studios. A round of consolidation will occur in the next six to 12 months because of the costs of financing, print [Read more]

Are Big Media Sites Like Hulu Anti-Consumer, Anti-Media Employees, Anti-America?

First Look: Michael Moore’s Bailout Documentary, Teaser Trailer Out Friday
USA Today was given the first photo from Michael Moore's still-yet-to-be-titled documentary about the financial meltdown. The photo shows Moore outside Goldman Sachs headquarters in Manhattan. But now that Wall Street has become the target, don't expect a two hour economics lesson.Moore jokes that it's going to be more like a vampire movie. Instead of the main characters feasting on the blood of their victims, they feast on the money. And they never seem to get enough of it. Moore also says that people will get a good laugh out of his film, and will hopefully walk out of the theater saying Wow, that was something! Moore jokes, maybe they also walk out asking the ushers, 'Um, excuse me. Where are the pitchforks and torches?'Moore needs to step away from the AVID editing system for a few min [Read more]

Shia LaBeouf Finally Meets a Potential Franchise He Doesn’t Like
Since we can't recall Shia LaBeouf's lack of interest in a project ever making people on the Internet upset before, this would seem to be a first. LaBeouf — star of Transformers, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the upcoming Wall Street 2, Disturbia, Eagle Eye, and all their rumored sequels and spinoffs — has given an interview to Wizard magazine in which he says he's dead set against starring as Yorick Brown in a film adaptation of Bryan K. Vaughn's graphic-novel series Y: The Last Man, about the lone male survivor of a plague that kills every earthly mammal with a Y chromosome (a role for which he was once rumored).You take Sam [from Transformers] and you put a monkey on his shoulder, said LaBeouf of Yorick's sidekick Ampersand. I don't know if it's that bi [Read more]

Wall Street 2: Gekko Goes Limp
What are we going to short-sell today, friendo?When reports first surfaced that Oliver Stone was planning to revisit his 1987 masterpiece Wall Street by way of a sequel, initially we shrugged our shoulders. After all, the prospect of a geriatric Michael Douglas taking Shia LaBeouf under his wrinkly wings isn't exactly the sort of thing that compels you to stop what you're doing and check Fandango for presale dates. Still, we'll admit that our ears perked up a little bit when Vulture buddy Nikki Finke reported that the hunky Spanish Oscar winner Javier Bardem will be cast in the film as a villainous, stock-shorting hedge-fund manager. Unfortunately, though, we then read the plot synopsis.According to Finke, the film is set in the months preceding the October 2008 collapse of the world's eco [Read more]

Oliver Stone Back for Wall Street 2, Shia LaBeouf Also Joining?
Considering originality is pretty much dead in Hollywood, most of the big news these days is related to sequels or remakes. We first wrote about Wall Street 2, which is appropriately perfect for our current economic situation, back in 2007 and again last year when Fox realized they better get this made sooner than later. At the time all we knew is that they'd hired a writer. Variety now confirms that Fox has secured Oliver Stone again to return to direct the sequel. Michael Douglas is already back as Gordon Gekko, and apparently Shia LaBeouf is in negotiations to star as well. You know, I can see him pulling this off.Variety only says that the sequel will once again involve a young Wall Street trader (LaBeouf), and that the recent economic meltdown spurred by rampant greed and corruption w [Read more]

As Rally Stalls, Tech May Be The Answer
With questions looming over whether Wall Street's three-month rally is running out steam, some portfolio managers are turning to technology as a way to ride out the next stock market cycle.  After jumping as much as 35 percent off the March lows, stocks have been in the doldrums lately, trading in a tight range as investors ponder data points that mostly show a tepid economic recovery at best. Technology stocks, though, have taken on a fairly strong leadership position, and the fundament [Read more]
