Used in the movie Wall Street to justify insider trading too:

Bud: Lou, I got a sure thing. Anacott Steel.

Lou: No such thing, except death and taxes. Not a good company any more. No fundamentals. What's goin' on, Bud? You know something? Remember, there are no short cuts, son.

The money you make for people creates science and research jobs. Don't sell that out.

Lou: You can't get a little bit pregnant, son.

Bud: Lou, trust me. lt's a winner. Buy it.
