Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this all automated?
Gekko's Birthday uses an agentic LLM sourcing system to collect, score, and filter the latest news on the web and deliver it to Mr. Gekko's desk each morning. The insights are all his. The final newsletter is then published and promoted automatically using a network of cloud microservices.
2. What's in the Library?
Free books on finance, investing, business intelligence and management that are suggested readings for many Business School programs.

3. What was that movie?
The inspiration for this page is the iconic scene from Wall Street where Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) wakes up to the alarm on his 1985 Apple Home PC reminding him that May 6, 1985 was Gordon Gekko's birthday. Box of cigars in hand, he worms his way into Michael Douglas's office and launches the relationship that changes his life.
