4th task

What is the moral of this story? (Minimum 250 words)

Here is a person who is loyal for his work. When Mr. James offers Jocob to
work with him he reject that proposal because he know what Mr. James need
its illegal. Jocob try to stop him by asking his price. Jecob also think about
his country, for this reason he want to invest money on hydro fusion. Here
money in not everything and time is the prime thing in life because if it goes
it never comes. Relationship and bond can make change into a man. Gekko’s
greed change for this bond, a bond with father and daughter. If money goes
then it’s back but if those bond break its very difficult to link again.
Although speculation is necessary for business by Gekko’s book he tries to
inform people about the bad side of the speculation. In his later life he don’t
think about the insider treading. Though Winnine know about the money but
she doesn’t use the money, she thinks to give all her money to the poor
people. When Zebel in economic crisis he still paid bonus to Jecob. The
most important things in this story are no bubble can be stay for long time.
Bubble must be explored. As like Gekko Mr. James also sent to the jail for
his illegal work. Mr. James consider only money and for that he doing many
unethical work. Because of that he was suspend for his job.
