封面故事：
A Prick of Conscience Makes Wolf of Wall Street
(良心的譴責造就華爾街之狼)

股票仲介Jordan靠賣爛股票給美國窮人致富，送她老婆Teresa一份小禮物，老婆雖然開心，但是還是告誡Jordan，譴責他的良心，Teresa Pricks Jordan’s Conscience! (封面照片)

Jordan送老婆一條寶石項鍊，說：They’re small, I know, but the stones are really high quality. (我知道不大，但是這些寶石品質都很好)
δ 下次送女朋友山寨版iPhone可以套用這句話

Teresa心裡很不安：Wouldn’t you feel better selling this junk to rich people? (如果把爛股票賣給有錢人，心裡會不會好過一點？)

Jordan回道，有錢人不會買爛股票：
Rich people don’t buy penny stocks.

老婆追問，Jordan轉過頭，一陣良心譴責，a prick of conscience，內心說，「因為有人錢都很聰明，就是這麼簡單！(Because they’re too smart, that’s why not!)」

經過一番良心譴責，Jordan決定把目標客戶轉移到美國上流社會有錢人，成為華爾街之狼！
