Wall Street Financier Asher Edelman ENDORSES *BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT*
March 10. On CNBC's 'Fast Money' TV show, NY financier and art collector Asher Edelman said "Bernie Sanders is the best candidate for the economy, without question." And the reason is 'velocity of money' which means how quickly money gets spent and turns around. He also said Bernie is the only person out there talking at all about both fiscal stimulation and banking rules to get banks to generate lending again as opposed to speculation.
Gordon 'Greed is Good' Gekko, the financial raider character in the 1987 movie "Wall Street" was based on Peter Edelman. Oliver Stone, the awarded American film producer and director noted for his political theme films, produced the movie during the height of the 1980s and the Reaganomics era of deregulation and union busting when speculation was becoming rampant again on Wall Street.
The director, Oliver Stone was raised in Manhattan and is the son of a NY stockbroker.
