5月31日 A reality TV you will loveHave you ever wondered... there are TV shows on lives of doctors, lawyers, detectives and team of detectives, the very mystified professions of our time have all been glorified in more than one show. People simply have insatiable curiosity in their lives. I have found yet another documentary / reality show following the lives of a group of men and women making a living in a very cruel yet real market, 'Wall Street Warriors'. Maybe because of what I do, I love the show, hope you will too.
The first season follows the lives of a few very successful Wall Streeters: a hedgie, a day trader, a sales and an analyst. I think to start off the show for everyone to enjoy, the producers picked all equity guys, easier to understand, plain vanilla. The second season moves on to the slightly more interesting perspective: a rookie who just graduated from NYU, a commodity trader trading concentrated orange juice (There is a prize if you know the ticker for this... ), a private equity fund manager and a couple of brokers. Many other interesting characters are intermittently woven into the show, we see specialists on the floor, financial astrologer, and Tim Sykes (He claims to grow his portfolio from $12k to $2 mio by taking short biased positions in penny stocks...) For those of you not in the industry, the show is not that hard to understand, all the technical jargons are explained for, from short selling to leveraged buy-out. Besides you get to see them playing polo in the Hamptons, driving roaring Ferraris and dating models. But if you do live your life by the greeks, be it alpha or vega, or are glued to your blackberry at dinner on a Friday night waiting for non-farm payroll, it will not be 'this is what money looks like' factor that will draw you to the show. You will love it, because you will know them, what they are thinking, their trouble, their joy... Yeah, true, they have a lot more zeros on their paycheck, but they must have all been there, on the trading floor, once just like us, trying to make it and yet showing others you already have it. So here are some quotes from the show for you to have a taste... 'You keep hearing 'buy side', 'sell side' and always wonder the difference, here it is: if you are on the sell side, you hang up and say 'F*ck you', but if you are on the buy side, you say 'F*ck you' and then you hang up.' 'The two most high IQ jobs are Wall Street and priests, and you can see how they both can use some prayers.' 'Here on Wall Street the bottom line is very simple, it's how much money you can make.' And my personal favorite, 'If you don't love what you do, you don't deserve to be here' Hope you will enjoy the show as much as I do.
