Once Upon a Time on Wall Street
Manhattan, New York – 2023
I remember a time on Wall Street when men wore suits and women wore short skirts. There was a dress code that all adhered to; it was part of the deal. Meanwhile, the news was read from newspapers not tablets or phones. No one went to work without the FT or the Wall Street Journal under their arm.
Oliver Stone captured the era perfectly in his Oscar winning film of 1987 - ironically the year of the crash. There was a code in those days as to how people dressed and how they worked. Lunch may have been for wimps but was regularly taken. Often, lunch signaled the end of the working day.
Once upon a time in Wall Street there was also a wolf. By then it was the 1990s and all those working in the stock market at the time will never forget it. It was all one big party of loose compliance, loose morals, high expense accounts and easy money. Those days will never return.
