Gordon Gekko

[Camby]

Just watched Wall Street and was wondering - what is Gordon Gekko's job and how would one get into that position? I mean he is a "corporate raider" but who are the modern day examples of such a beast and what are their real job titles?

Thank you.

Hedge Fund Managers would probably be the modern equivalent.

I dealt with a gentleman which The Telegraph described as the 21st century Gordon Gekko.

Indeed..

I'm sure THAT is not an easy job to get, would you agree?
