News Flash: Wall Streeters Still Greedy SOBs
Monday, November 28, 2005 - 7:43 am
It's a wonder Paul Farrell, MarketWatch's crotchety old columnist, didn't have a heart attack writing his most recent piece condemning the greed on Wall Street. What? Greed on Wall Street. Not a chance. Anyway, the geezer's mad as hell and is not going to take it, at least not without doing a little preaching first:
For three decades I've been studying the behavior of the million people working in the financial-services industry. One thing I've learned is that to succeed on Wall Street you must have what I call the "Greed Gene," a DNA marker that tolerates behavior most of us would call amoral, unethical or even criminal. The fact is Wall Street's "Greed Gene" will never change. Never. It's inbred in the culture. That's who they are. Accept it. They're not your friends, no matter how much they smile, send birthday cards, pick up the lunch tab. They simply want to skim money off your assets. Period.And?
